Alba

The name Alba is of Latin origin, derived from the word 'albus', which means 'white' or 'bright'. This name is particularly popular in Spanish and Italian cultures, where it is often used as a reference to the dawn or the first light of day.

In some contexts, the name Alba may also be associated with the Gaelic word 'alb', which means 'Scotland'. This connection can be seen in the name of the Scottish region of Alba, which is the Gaelic name for Scotland.

Regardless of its specific origin, the name Alba is often chosen for its delicate and feminine sound, as well as its association with brightness, purity, and the beauty of nature.

While Alba is more commonly used as a girl's name, it can also be considered a gender-neutral name, as the concept of brightness and light is not inherently masculine or feminine.
