Meaning & History
Possibly derived from Latin albus meaning "white". In Roman mythology Albunea was a nymph who dwelt at a sulfuric spring or fountain near the town of Tibur (modern Tivoli). This was also the name of the Tiburtine Sibyl, a sibyl (i.e. oracle or prophetess) worshiped in a grove at Tibur.
