Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from Middle English 'auburn', originally meaning 'off-white' or 'blonde', from Old French 'alborne', from Late Latin 'alburnus' (whitish), influenced by Latin 'albus' (white), but its meaning shifted in the 16th century to denote reddish-brown hair.
