Its sure short for a lot of thing. Albert and Alvin.
Some of my close friends call me Al, its short for Alex. Yet in tradition Alex is not abbreviated to Al, because it is already abbreviated from Alexander. AND THATS A FACT

Yes. It could be short for Albert or Alvin.
If you mean the middle-Eastern usage, NO. It means "of the family of".
