Lithghean was an Irish saint, of Cluain-mór-Lithghein, in Uí Failghe in Leinster.[1] His mother is said to be Broinnfhinn Brecc, daughter of Lughna, and sister of St. Iubhar, though according to another account, his mother was Mella, the sister of St. Ibar.[2] He was of the Dál Cormaic, and brother of St. Abbán and St. Senach of Cill-mór. Lithghean was likely one of the seven presbyters buried at Killeen Cormac.[2][3] His feast-day is 16 January.
