 The saint's name was familiar enough in Mide to give rise to a number of derivative personal names, notably Máel Sechnaill (attested since the 9th century) and later also Gilla Sechnaill.Despite the evidence for a medieval "Life", there is little in the sources to suggest that Sechnall was the subject of a flourishing cult during much of the Middle Ages.His feast-day is 27 November.
