 England
Aubint is a name of ancient Norman origin. It arrived in England with the Norman Conquest of 1066. The Aubint family lived in Normandy where it was derived from the ancient English given name Albin, meaning white. Early Origins of the Aubint familyThe surname Aubint was first found in St. Taurin, Evreux, Normandy, in the year 980, as St. Aubyn.

Migration of the Aubint familyTo escape the political and religious persecution within England at the time, many English families left for the various British colonies abroad. The voyage was extremely difficult, though, and the cramped, dank ships caused many to arrive in the New World diseased and starving. But for those who made it, the trip was most often worth it. Many of the families who arrived went on to make valuable contributions to the emerging nations of Canada and the United States. An inquiry into the early roots of North American families reveals a number of immigrants bearing the name Aubint or a variant listed above: Thomas Allibone who arrived in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1813; Engel Albin settled in America in 1707.
