Umayya ibn Abd Shams
Umayya ibn Abd Shams (Arabic: أمية بن عبد شمس) was the son of Abd Shams and is the progenitor of the line of the Umayyad Caliphs. Anti-Umayyad polemic says that his name is derived from 'afa', a diminutive of the word for slave-girl[1] and instead of being the legitimate son of Abd Shams, Ibn al-Kalbi claimed that he was adopted by him,[2] however Ibn al-Kalbi is acknowledged as an unreliable reporter.[3] The clan of Banu Umayya as well as the dynasty that ruled the Umayyad Caliphate are named after Umayya ibn Abd Shams.
