"Abd al-Rahman I, more fully Abd al-Rahman ibn Mu´awiya ibn Hisham ibn Abd al-Malik ibn Marwan (731–788) (Arabic: عبد الرحمن بن معاوية بن هشام بن عبد الملك بن مروان الداخل‎), was the founder of a Muslim dynasty that ruled the greater part of Iberia for nearly three centuries (including the succeeding Caliphate of Córdoba). Abd al-Rahman was a member of the Umayyad dynasty in Damascus, and his establishment of a government in Iberia represented a break with the Abbasids, who had overthrown the Umayyads in 750.
He was also known by the surnames al-Dakhil ("the Entrant"), Saqr Quraish ("the Falcon of the Quraysh") and the "Falcon of Andalus". Variations of the spelling of his name include Abd ar-Rahman I, Abdul Rahman I, Abdar Rahman I, and Abderraman I." - (en.wikipedia.org 15.11.2019)
