Default Saint Patrick was not Irish

This is the time of the year when I remind everyone that Saint Patrick
was not Irish, he was Roman.



Two Latin letters survive which are generally accepted to have been
written by Patrick. These are the Declaration (Latin: Confessio) and
the Letter to the soldiers of Coroticus (Latin: Epistola). The
Declaration is the more important of the two. In it Patrick gives a
short account of his life and his mission. His parents were
Calphurnius and Conchessa. The former belonged to a Roman family of
high rank and held the office of decurio in Gaul or Britain. Conchessa
was a near relative of the great patron of Gaul, St Martin of Tours.
In or about his sixteenth year, Patrick was carried into captivity by
marauders and was sold as a slave to an Irish chieftan named Milchu in
Dalriada, an area in present-day county Antrim.

Do the names, Calphurnius and Conchessa, sound Hungarian?
