Caoimhe – OSCAR documentation by Brían dorcha ua Conaill, 2024-04-15: cited in “The martyrology of Donegal: a calendar of the saints of Ireland”, which seems to have been published in 1630 and translated/recompiled in 1864. It gives a saint <Caoimhe> on page 294/295 [https://archive.org/stream/martyrologydone00reevgoog#page/n353/mode/2up].

The Martyrology was put together by Michael O'Cleary, one of the Four Masters of the eponymous Annals. ...

p.94f, 4 April: Caemh, ogh, o Cill Caoimhe [Caemh, virgin, of Caoimhe's Church]
p.294, 2 Nov: Caoimhe, Albanach, ó Chill Caoimhe [Caoimhe, Scottish, of Caoimhe's Church]
p.372 (index): Caoimhe ó Chill Caoimhe (Pulcheria), ... 2 Nov Caoimhe of Caoimhe's Church (beautious)

It's not really possible to tell from these the sex of the two Caoimhes. We might surmise female, from the "pulcheria" tag. The Caoimhes in the Annals are definitely male.
