Life

Colman mac Coman (Colmán mac Comáin) was abbot of the monastery of Aran in Ireland, and reposed in 751. He is venerated as a holy abbot in the Western Church.

He was one of the few known successors of Saint Enda of Aran and appears to be the second abbot there listed in the Irish annals after Enda himself. The Annals of the Four Masters record under the year 751 only his repose at Aran. No other deeds survive.
