Meaning & History

Obsolete Low German short form of both APOLLONIA and ALBERTA. There is, however, another theory which derives this name from Old Saxon aval "strength; force; fortitude".
This name was also occasionally used in southern Sweden and got accepted by Icelandic authorities in the early 2000s.
