  6. Albino

    • Description:

      Albino is primarily a masculine name with Latin origins. It derives from 'albus' meaning 'white' or 'bright,' and historically referred to someone with pale or white features. The name is found in several European cultures, particularly in Spanish, Italian, and Portuguese-speaking communities. As a given name, Albino has remained relatively rare, possibly due to its association with the genetic condition of the same name. In some regions, particularly parts of Africa, the name carries serious cultural sensitivities due to discrimination against people with albinism. The name has declined in usage in modern times, though it maintains some usage in traditional Catholic communities where it connects to Saint Albinus, a 6th-century bishop.
