The anglicized name of Saint Ailbe of Emly, County of Tipperary, Republic of Ireland... is: ELVIS. He lived in the 6th Century. The Catholic Church celebrates him every year on September 12th.
Almost all media (dictionaries, AI engines, Wiki, etc. say "no connection" with Elvis Presley! However, digging in the Irish etymology of the name Ailbe (Ailbhe in Old Irish, Ailfiw in Old Welsh) gives the hidden keys :🗝,🔑:
— 🗝"Ail" means ROCK
— 🔑"bhe" and "fiw" both mean ALIVE
ELVIS = A LIVING ROCK ❣️
And that's very true: Rock N Roll forever!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
So, the connexion between them is definitely etimologic... Well well... not only!
I found, in a Christian hymm covered by Elvis in a non-commercial record, like a kind of evocation in its title :
ROCK OF AGES

LYRICS
Oh, Rock of ages, hide Thou me
There is no other refuge
Can save but thee
Through this old world
I've wandered so far, far from thee
Then I cry
Ooh, rock of ages
Hide thou me
Hide thou me
There is no other refuge
Can save but thee
Through this old world
I've wandered so far, far from thee
Then I cry
Ooh, rock of ages
Hide thou me
Hide thou me
