Origin
Albion is the Common or Old Brittonic name for the island of Britain and was used to refer to the island (sometimes in part, sometimes encompassing all islands in the region) by Greco-Roman writers before the term Britannia became widely used. The modern name for Scotland is derived from this. Albion itself is derived from a Proto Indo-European root word meaning 'White'.
