Berthoud and Matruchot wrote that "The Albani theme is so transparent that it can not give rise to any doubt that it is the feminine of the man's nameAlbanius". Aubaine (villa) was literally the "domain of Albanius". L. Taverdet had a similar view: "Albania (villa) is an adjective formed on the name of the personAlbanus". Father Bredault thought, to the contrary, thatAubaine came from the wordAlb meaning "mountain".

Around 1740, the priest at Aubaine responded to the engineer Antoine, who was developing a map of the province: "There is a tower with a very low spire. This is a simple lordship. It is located threeleagues from Beaune to the south. The hamlets that dependent on my parish are: Bécoup to the north about a quarter of a league from my village, and Crespée located on top of a mountain between the east and the south. The village of Aubaine has in its immediate environment the wooded valleys of Aulne, Tilleul, Presme, and Oiseaux. At the bottom of the village is the source of the Saint-Quentin which releases water to join the Ouche atPont-d'Ouche."[5]
