Albanian saint? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

alban

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This clue could be a double definition.

'albanian' is the first definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'saint?' is the second definition.
(saint alban)

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for alban that I've seen before include "First British martyr, supposedly born in Verulamium" , "-- Berg, composer" , "Saint born at Verulamium" , "Hertfordshire saint" , "First English Christian martyr" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
