Caellainn (Or Caeilfhinn)
commemorated as an Irish saint on Feb. 3, was the daughter of Cael, of the race of Ciar. Her church is now called Tearmon Caelaine and Tearmon Mor, parish Kilkeevin, County Roscommon. She was the special patron of her kinsmen, the Ciarraidhe, in Connaught, and the legend places her in the reign of Aedh, son of Eochaid Tirmcharna, king of Connaught, slain A.D. 574. See Colgan, Acta Sanctorum, p. 13, n.; O'Donovan, Book of Rights, p. 100, n.
