You're (apparently) thinking the word Alba has only 1 meaning in all those languages. It doesn't. It means Dawn, Morning Twilight, and White. Primarily, it refers to a dull White, but using the word Alba to refer to Dawn and Morning Twilight is also valid.

Also:

1-I assume you got the whole bit about the name Alban from BehindTheName? It was the first I found.....and it said absolutely nothing about the name Albain in it. Literally said "not found".

Where did you get that bit of Albain being a variant of Alban?

2-Yes, the word Alba was the name of various places in Ancient Rome.....what does that have to do with anything? Or rather, what does it change? I mean, the ancient romans spoke Latin, so....I don't see how anything changes because of it. It's not like Alba acquired an alternative meaning or stopped being Latin because of it.

And the Latin meaning is pretty much the same as the spanish and italian meanings (not sure about catalan): White. Dull White. The Latin languages are derived from Latin, so multiple words remain mostly-parallel.
