The origin of the name ''Alba'' is not Latin as may be thought (in Latin ''albus'' meaning 'white') but pre-Celtic or Celtic. The current name of the village was formalized on 30 May 1986. Previously the village had been called only ''Alba''.

History

It has been assumed that when the city of Alba was founded at the beginning of the Roman Empire it was the successor, as often occurred in Gaul, of an earlier city. The existence of a protohistoric oppidum Chaulène on the plateau, northwest of Alba, is in fact likely. The assumption of a lowland habitat can also be used as the excavations to the west of the "St. Peter" site have yielded the remains of stone tools dating from the late third millennium. At the location of two "domus" south-east of the "home field Lauzun" site, a habitat was found of
