Is ar an 9 Meitheamh 1997 a sheol Mary Robinson, Uachtarán na hÉireann ag an am agus Brian Wilson, Aire Stáit na hAlban don Oideachas, Tionsclaíocht agus an Ghàidhlig ag an am, Colmcille, nó Iomairt Cholm Cille / The Columba Initiative mar a tugadh air roimhe sin.
Colmcille, formerly Iomairt Cholm Cille / The Columba Initiative, was launched on the 9th June 1997 by the then President of Ireland, Mary Robinson, and by Brian Wilson, the then Scottish Minister of State for Education, Industry and Gaelic. President Robinson spoke of Colmcille’s role in “creating an island space for ourselves to celebrate what Scotland and Ireland share” and Wilson spoke of his hopes that Colmcille would “foster support for the Gaelic language and develop links between Gaelic Scotland and Ireland”.

Athraíodh an logainm sin sa ré mheánaoiseach (thart ar AD500-1600), áfach, in onóir duine de phríomhnaoimh na hÉireann: Colm Cille (i nGaeilge) nó Columba (sa Laidin). Tá sé sa bhéaloideas gur tháinig an naomh (c. AD520-593) chun an ghleanna agus gur bhunaigh sé eaglais ann.
But in medieval times (roughly AD500-1600) that name was changed to honour one of Ireland's best-loved saints: Colmcille (in Irish) or Columba (in Latin). Legends and folkore claim that the saint (c. AD520-593) came to the valley and founded a church there. An important legacy from that Christianisation is the surviving cluster of stone cross-slabs (some probably dating to around AD800) and other early ecclesiastical features around the valley. Another legacy is the famous turas ('pilgrimage') made around those sites; primarily on 9 June, the day the saint died – his feast-day.
