COLMAN
Colman: translation
Colman m
Irish: Anglicized form of the Gaelic name Colmán, from Late Latin Columbānus, a derivative of Columba (see CALUM (SEE Calum) and COLOMBE (SEE Colombe)). The name was borne by a large number of early Irish saints, including Colman of Armagh, a 5th-century disciple of St Patrick. St Colman or Columban (c.540–615) founded the monastery at Bobbio in northern Italy in 614, and became something of a cult figure in central Europe. St Colman of Stockerau (d. 1012) was an Irish pilgrim who was killed at Stockerau near Vienna while on his way to the Holy Land. He is said to have worked numerous miracles after his death, and was particularly venerated in Hungary.
