Origin

Late Middle English: from Old French auborne, alborne, from Latin alburnus 'whitish', from albus 'white'. The original sense was 'yellowish white', but the word became associated with brown because in the 16th and 17th centuries it was often written abrune or abroun.

The root of our word auburn is Latin albus, which actually meant ‘white’. Based on this, medieval Latin formed the word alburnus ‘whitish’, which in Old French became alborne (or auborne) ‘yellowish white’ and was subsequently adopted into English. In the 16th and 17th centuries it was spelt in a number of different ways, including abron, abrune, and abroun, and these spellings must have put into people's minds the idea that auburn was in fact a kind of brown. Its meaning gradually changed from ‘yellowish-white’ to ‘golden-brown or reddish-brown’. See also album, baize, brown
