Catholic AnswerIf you are talking about St. Benedict of Nursia, there is very little know about him other than his Rule (The Rule of St. Benedict), and what Pope St. Gregory the Great describes about him in his Dialogues. But there is no indication that he changed his name when he became a hermit, so it is safe to assume that his name was Benedict, and his sister's name was Scholastica.
