Elfin of Warrington

Elfin of Warrington is a little-known saint venerated in medieval Warrington, near the modern city of Liverpool. ^[1] He is known only from one entry in the Domesday Book, his cult or church holding one carucate of land. ^[1] The name may be Brittonic, derived from Latin Alpinus, ^[1] or could be a diminutive of an Old English name beginning Ælf.
