"Variant of Albert"
The name Al is commonly a male name from the "Swedish" origin.
Al is an English short form of masculine given names that begin with Al-, chiefly Albert, Alfred and Alan, and it is also used as a short form of Alexander. It is used as a given name in its own right in English-speaking countries rather than carrying an independent root of its own.
Albert means "Noble, Industrious, Bright, Famous.".
The pronunciation of Al is AL.
