The history of the Allbon family name begins after the Norman Conquest of 1066. They lived in Normandy where it was derived from the ancient English given name Albin, meaning white.

Many of the families that reached the New World at this time went on to make important contributions to the emerging nations of the United States and Canada. Research into various historical records has revealed some of first members of the Allbon family to immigrate North America: Thomas Allibone who arrived in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1813; Engel Albin settled in America in 1707.
