The name Albinie evolved in ancient Germany, in Bavaria. It is a patronymic name. Patronymics are derived from the given name of the father of the bearer. German patronymic names were generally formed from traditional, German given names, rather than from the names of saints or biblical figures, as was the custom in many other European cultures. Albinie comes from the Latin word Albinus, which is a derivative of the word albus, which means white. The popularity of the nickname was also influenced, especially in Austria, by the Germanic given name Albuin, composed of the elements alb, or elf, and win which means friend. Albinie was also the name of several minor early Christian saints, including St. Aubin, the Bishop of Angers who died in about 554. It was the name of the Lombard leader who made himself king of Northern Italy and also of a Bishop of Brixen in South Tyrol.

Migration of the Albinie family
Thousands of German settlers came to North America between the mid-17th and mid-20th centuries. The hardships of the long voyage were balanced by the opportunity to escape poverty and religious persecution. The descendents of these settlers still populate the states of Pennsylvania, Texas, New York, Illinois, and California. Many also live in Ontario and the prairie provinces of Canada. An inquiry into the early roots of North American families has revealed a number of immigrants bearing the name Albinie or a variant listed above: Pasquale Albini, who came to New York, NY in 1893.
