Culann, Culan, Cullan. A smith of the
Ulster Cycle who is best remembered for giving his name to
Cúchulainn. Culann was entertaining the nobles of Ulster when the late-arriving hero, still named Sétanta, killed the host's watchdog. In repentance Sétanta offered to replace the dog and serve watch himself in the interim, thus earning the name Cú [hound] Chulainn [of Culann]. Elsewhere in Ulster narrative Culann forged the sword, spear, and shield of
Conchobar mac Nessa. Some commentators have suggested that Culann may be a disguise for
Manannán mac Lir.
