I can find no reliable source that mentions the name of Augustine's concubine. However, a recently released movie on the life of Saint Augustine, Restless Heart, calls her Khalida. I suspect this was an invention of the screen writer so that she had a name in the movie besides "Hey You." After she was abandoned by Augustine, his mother Monica arranged a marriage for him but the future bride, at the time, was not of the legal age to marry. Augustine shortly broke off the engagement and had another fling or two with other concubines before he finally converted to Catholicism and was baptized by Saint Ambrose. He never did marry but some consider his nearly 14 year relationship with 'Khalida' to have been a common law marriage.
