medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Hi susan
IT seems to me that all these names are alternate breton forms for Salomon, who
whas king of the Bretons during the ninth century and later honoured as a saint
because of his assassination. *Seleven is one of the form you'll find in the
Vannes region (Morbihan)
Here's a quick link on the Brand new breton sains database built by the
University in Rennes... maybe you'll find more...

sincerely yours
