    3. My "Little" Booke Again! It doesn't appear that it was a Saint or is it? There is a place Elphin on the A835, in the north west of Scotland (Just an aside) St Patrick founded a cathedral near Elphin (Ireland), "By a river issuing from two fountains," in the 15th century, and placed over it St. Asicus, whom he created bishop, and who soon after filled it with monks. After many centuries many places became annexed to Elphin, which became one of the richest sees in Ireland. The see was united to Kilmore in 1841, under the provisions of the Church Temporalities Act, passed Aug. 1833. Looking at other possibilities, there is a surname ELPHNISTON(E) c.1250- from the lands of Elphinstone in Tranent (Midlothianshire) History comments that the (Irish) originated from Scotland; do we have a link here, perhaps the Irish town of Elphin was named after one such emigrant? What a lovely sunny day it is today, here in the south, to mark our 56 years of marriage - Whoopee!

It is St. Elphin. A local historian has suggested it could be a bad reading of Stephen but this would have been a very long time ago.

    3. There is some explanation of the name here:- http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/05394b.htm It wasn't used as a persons name initially, it seems. Janet

    3. Hello Roy I am interested in your comment that the Irish originated in Scotland. In researching the surname Scott we found it originated from the word Scotti about the 10th century which meant Irishman so it would seem some Scottish were immigrants from Ireland so did the name Elphin go the other way. regards Chris Bartlett -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Roy Sent: Sunday, 10 December 2006 2:44 a.m. To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [OEL] origin of saint's name My "Little" Booke Again!
