Iona, Hi, Icolumkill [OIr. Í, island;
Í Choluim Chille, Colum Cille's island]. Anglo-Latinized name for the small island, 3.5 by 1.5 miles, SW of Mull in the Inner Hebrides, much celebrated in Scottish Gaelic tradition. The island was evangelized by St
Colum Cille c.563, who is popularly thought to have established a monastery there that appears to have been constructed some years after his arrival. A new monastery and nunnery were begun by the Benedictines in 1203 and have been restored in the 20th century. The chapel of St Oran (11th cent.) contains the burial-grounds of many Scottish, four Irish, and eight Norwegian kings. See F. Marian McNeill,
