The name "Albion" is one of the earliest known names for Great Britain, derived from the Greek term *Albion* (Ἀλβιών). This name possibly refers to the white cliffs of Dover, the first view of Britain from the continent. The use of "Albion" dates back to ancient times, with Aristotle mentioning it in his work "On the Universe." The name fell out of use after the Roman conquest, replaced by "Britain." The name is important as it represents the ancient and pre-Roman cultural identity of the island.
