Definition: The word "Alburga" is a term in the Bible that refers to the ancient city-state of Alkmaar, located in modern-day The Netherlands. It's believed this name came from the Greek ἄλμα (alma), which means 'land', and γούριος (gūrioos) meaning 'to go'. Alburga is said to have been founded by King Aulusinus around 130 BCE, before its destruction in the Battle of Actium. The city-state was ruled for a significant portion of its existence by Julius Caesar. The specific details of the word's origin and how it has evolved over time are not fully known, but based on historical records and texts, it seems to have been a name given to the town or colony that was established as Alburga. The name is still used today in modern-day contexts for such towns and settlements. As an interesting fact, Alburga is often associated with the story of King Aulusinus (246-180 BCE) who founded this city-state on a small island off the coast of The Netherlands. He later was known as Julius Caesar's 'king of the Romans'.
