Aubyn is English, French in Origin.
Aubyn is an English variant of Aubin, the French form of the Latin Albinus, a diminutive of albus "white, fair; bright." Through medieval veneration of St. Albinus of Angers - known in French as Saint Aubin - the name traveled from Latin into Old French and then into England after the Norman Conquest. The root albus underlies related names such as Alban and Albin, reinforcing the sense of lightness or fairness.
In Britain, Aubyn surfaces in parish and college records from the 16th to 19th centuries, used sparingly as a masculine given name and more visibly in the Cornish surname St Aubyn. A notable bearer is the naturalist Aubyn Trevor-Battye (1855-1922). Today Aubyn remains rare but fits the modern, gently unisex sound of Aub- names alongside Aubrey. Variants include Aubin (French), Albin (Scandinavian/Slavic), Alban (English), and Albinus (Latin); feminine counterparts include Albina and Aubine. Possible nicknames: Albie or Aub.
