Meaning and background
The story behind Albers
Albers belongs to the family of surnames built from a parent’s personal name. The Dictionary of American Family Names identifies it as a Dutch, North German and Danish patronymic from Albert. That is an inherited family-name construction, not a separate adjective meaning “bright”. The association with Albert is clearer and more precise than a decorative one-word gloss.
