COLUMKILL. Irish
name meaning "Columb of
the cell," from Latin Columba,
("dove") and cill "cell." See Cillín.
... It was from his gentle
character that Crimthan, the great and admirable son of the House of
Neill, was called Columba, a fitting name for him who was truly a dove
of peace to the wild Hebrides. In Ireland this good man is
generally called St. Columkill, St. Columb of the cell, or
monastery, because of the numbers of these centres of Christian
instruction founded by him... (History of Christian Names,
Yonge, 1884)
