Albus means "white" in Latin. J.K. Rowling probably named him this because of his long white beard.

Dumbledore is Olde English for "bumblebee." J.K. Rowling named him this because she imagined him walking through the halls of Hogwarts humming like a bumblebee.

In all, the name Albus Dumbledore means "white bumblebee." It doesn't really fit together, but on their own both names sound great, right?
