The Irish origin of this saint seems to be a creation as a lot of personal data in medieval saints' lifes:
"The improbability of Fridolin as an Irish missionary is evident from his Germanic, rather than Celtic, name."
At the review of Sankt Fridolin und sein Biograph Balther: Irische Heilige in der litterarischen Darstellung des Mittelalters by Margrit Koch, by Marvin L. Colker (Speculum, Vol. 35, No. 3 (Jul., 1960), pp. 468-469)
