(Thanks to Simon Taylor for these early forms.)

This is the same name as Kilcolmonell. According to MacKinnon there is another in Kintyre: “Killcalmonell in Kintyre is called in the district Sgire Chalmaineala, the parish of Colmonella.”

Cill-Chalmaineala: 1875 Am Feillire [presumably for ARG one.]

The saint of Colmonell is Colman Elo, abbot of Lann Elo, now Lann Eala, in King’s County, who died in 611. There is also Kilcolmanell, Cill Cholman Eala, in Kintyre.” Watson 1926, p. 187
