Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Pochádza z rímskeho prímena (cognomena) Albinus, ktorého slovotvorným základom je latinské albus s významom „biely“. Výklady „čistý“, „nevinný“ či „jasný“ predstavujú symbolické asociácie, nie základný etymologický význam mena.

Meno Albín a domácku podobu Albínko uvádza Slovník slovenského jazyka VI, Osobné mená; skloňovanie zodpovedá vzoru chlap. Albi je neformálne oslovenie doložené používateľským svedectvom v diskusii Meno Albín, ktoré nedokazuje jeho všeobecnú rozšírenosť. Viaceré medzinárodné podoby zachytáva Behind the Name – Albin.
