Origins
From Proto-Germanic *albiz + *rūnō. Note: this spelling is a modern scholarly conjecture based on various differing manuscript readings (for which see Alternative forms above). Though commonly encountered in modern scholarship, it is by no means uncontested, and this name may not have existed at all.
