Saint Canan appears on 1 November (old style, Julian calendar) in the Martyrology of Donegal, and also in the Martyrology of Tallaght and the Martyrology of Gorman. The entry gives no place and no parent. The name survives only in the martyrologies, without synodal canonization; nothing else is known.
