Saint Médan was an early British or Irish saint whose precise identity remains a subject of historical debate. While the name is linked to locations in Wigtownshire, Angus, and Aberdeenshire, scholars disagree on whether the figure was male or female. Some suggest the name may have evolved from a masculine title or been confused with female names like Modwena. Others argue for a male identity, potentially linking the saint to the name Muadán or as a companion to Saint Drostan.
