Born in Britain; died 6th century. During the Anglo-Saxon conquest of Britain, Saint Hernan sought refuge in Brittany. There he lived in solitude at a place now named for him, Loc-Harn. He is the patron of that village (Benedictines).

Troparion of St Hernan tone 8
Devoting thy life to prayer and fasting, O Father Hernan,/ thou hast
bequeathed to us a legacy of Orthodox asceticism./ Pray to Christ our
God that we may be granted grace to emulate thy labours, O Saint,/ and
receive the reward of the blessed.
