Ailbe derives from the old Irish meaning “white.” Said to be the
first bishop of Emly in Munster, Ailbe was believed to be a disciple of Patrick, and even ordained by him. Legend has it Ailbe was abandoned in the woods by his impoverished parents, where a she wolf suckled him. Later he was rescued by hunters, who spared the wolf’s life.
