Edana of Ireland (also Edaene, Etaoin, Edna, Eidyn)[1][2][3][4] was an Irish monastic who lived at the confluence of the River Shannon and Boyle River during the sixth century.[2][3][4] Her name means "little fire" or "little flame".[3][4] She could be confused with St. Modwenna of Whitby, although there is no evidence supporting it.[2][5]
Saint Patrick ordained Edana as a monastic.[2][3][4] She is the patron saint of several parishes in western Ireland including Tuam and Elphin . A "famous holy well",[5] known for its healing properties, was named for her.[2] Some sources state that the city of Edinburgh, close to the site where she founded a convent, was named for her.[1][3][4] Her feast day is July 5.[3][1]
