Subject: Tigris

According to tradition, Saint Tigris is said to have been the sister of Saint Patrick and I found the name Tigris listed as "Irish" in one of my name books. But is it really used in Ireland? And why would this Saint Tigris have the name of a Middle Eastern river as her first name? Is it perhaps a latinization of an older Irish name?
Anyone who knows? I love the name anyway. :)
