Asaph, Saint (?-596?), is honored as the first bishop of Llanelwy, now St. Asaph, in Clwyd, Wales. He was a grandson of Pabo, a king of the Britons of Strathclyde. The monastery at Llanelwy became the foundation for a cathedral, probably during Asaph’s time. Llanelwy first became known as St. Asaph in the 1100’s. Saint Asaph is commemorated in St. Asaph Cathedral on May 5.
