St. Kilda is the name of an island group in Scotland. I currently watched a tv documentary about it and became interested in the history of the name. Who was St. Kilda? Why was the island group named after her? What does Kilda mean?

I saw a medal in a catholic online shop and that medal was dedicated to St. Rafta. Any ideas about the name or do you have info about the life of St. Rafta?

Thanks, Sofia! That means that I don't have to look up the name Kilda in a saints dictionary. :)
