For what its worth, according to the book Diccionario Heraldico by Lander Munoz the origin of the Alba name comes from a German Knight by the name of Mosen Pedro Albaney. This does seem to connect with Alban maybe Albey.

This source seems to be widely used on the net (in Spanish).

In latin america a surname could be taken from the maternal side. Often times if the Maternal line was more prestigious than the Paternal.
