Arabic name (مُعَاَوِيَةُ) actually means - "young dog/fox".
Muawiyah I (March 661 - January/February 684) was an Umayyad caliph for about four months after the death of his father Yazīd. The empire he inherited was in a state of disarray with Abdullah bin Zubayr claiming to be the true caliph and holding the Hejaz as well as other areas.
