The hagiographer Agnes B. C. Dunbar wrote:

Butler's account

According to Alban Butler:

St Quivox

The name of the church and parish of St. Quivox in Ayrshire, Scotland, is thought to be a variant of Santa Kennocha Virgo in Coila, or Saint Kennocha. Other forms of the name include St. Kevock, St Kenochis, St. Cavocks and St. Evox. However, the Oxford Dictionary of Saints says that the church of Quivox is named after Saint Kevoca, often thought to be Scottish, who was in fact the Irish saint Mo-Choemoc.
