The commune's name comes from Turkish, nalbant from Persian nal-band meaning blacksmith (nal – nail, horse shoe, band – to bond, to tie).
Nalbant is located in the central part of the county, 24 km (15 mi) southwest of the county seat, Tulcea. It is crossed by national roads DN22A, which runs from Tulcea to Hârșova, and DN22F, which connects Nalbant to Horia.
