found: Wikipedia, 9 October 2018 :(Saint Colmán Elo (555 - 26 September 611) was born in Glenelly, Ireland in what is now County Tyrone; founder and first Abbot of Muckamore, and from the fact of being titled as the "successor (coarb) of Mac Nisse", is regarded as Bishop of Connor; studied under his maternal uncle, St. Columba, who procured for him the site of a monastery now known as Lynally (Lann Elo). Hence his designation of Colmán Elo or in Latinised form, Colmanellus) - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colm%C3%A1n_Elo
