‘Dumbledore’ is "old English word meaning bumblebee. Because Albus Dumbledore is very fond of music, I always imagined him as sort of humming to himself a lot."

Also, with a small search that I did, I've found out that 'Albus' in Latin means 'white'. Actually, this word is not Latin, it comes from a Greek (btw, for everyone who doesn't know, I'm from Greece, and you should learn Greek, it's a really pretty language,) word, 'alfos', or else, 'αλφος'.
