Gubbio (GOO-be-oh) is the name of the town that was threatened by the wolf, not the name of the wolf.
It is believed that the wolf was tamed by Francis in "The Wolf of Gubbio" because he represented sinners. Francis is believed to have converted and tamed the "sinner" or the wolf so that he would not harm anyone.

Legend says that Francis tamed a wolf that had been ravaging the town of Gubbio.
Francis was able to tame the wolf of Gubbio through his connection to nature and his peaceful demeanor. He approached the wolf with kindness and compassion, showing respect for all creatures. This approach calmed the wolf and allowed a peaceful coexistence between the animal and the townspeople.
The wolf in the Wolf of Gubbio symbolizes fear and danger, as well as the power of conversion and redemption. Its story is a symbol of the transformative power of love and faith in overcoming hostility and conflict.
Believe it or not, wolves do have a patron: Edmund of East Anglia . Why he has that distinction, I do not know.Another saint that could be considered as a patron would be Francis of Assisi. Look up the story of Francis and the wolf of Gubbio on the Internet. The wolf of Gubbio was a wolf that, according to the Fioretti di San Francesco, terrorized the city of Gubbio until it was tamed by St. Francis of Assisi acting on behalf of God. While this may only be a pious legend, it is a wonderful story that demonstrates the love Francis had for all of nature
