Because it's used as a man's name; e.g. Al Jolson, Al Capone, etc.

6d is banal, so that's where the al comes from

Thank you AJT and Sudokulover BUT

AJT: al I get but 'at 6' baffles me

Sudokulover :I don't get the connection of 6d to banal. Please explain.

Banal means "old hat, trite" so tired, in a way. Don't allow = ban. OK?
