Albion
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article is about the archaic name for Great Britain. For other uses, see Albion (disambiguation).
Albion (Greek: ?λβι?ν) is the oldest known name of the island of Great Britain. It is thought to derive from the white cliffs of Dover. Today, it is still sometimes used poetically to refer to the island or England in particular. It is also the basis of the Scottish Gaelic name for Scotland, Alba. New Albion and Albionoria ("Albion of the North") were briefly suggested as possible names of Canada during the period of Canadian Confederation.[1][2]
