Albus is derived from the Latin word 'albus', which means 'white'. This first name gained prominence through J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series, where Albus Dumbledore, the wise and enigmatic headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, is a central character.
The name Albus experienced a notable increase in popularity from 2016 to 2020, with a significant dip in 2018, but has since stabilized around the same level as 2016 and 2023.
