What does Albany mean?

Albany is a place-derived name of Scottish and English origin. Historically, it referred to the Dukedom of Albany in Scotland, a title borne by members of the royal family. The name itself may stem from the Gaelic Albainn, meaning "Scotland," or from the Latin Albania. As a given name, it is relatively rare but has a stately, historic character. It has occasionally been used as a gender-neutral option, especially in English-speaking countries.
