The term "span" refers to the distance between the tip of the thumb and tip of the little finger of one hand when fully extended; this measurement is today considered to be roughly 9 inches, exactly the same as it was in medieval times.

By what other name is the medieval period also known?

The simple answer is that the medieval period is also called the Middle Ages. There is some complexity, however. The period from the 5th through 10th centuries was called the Dark Ages, but the term Early Middle Ages is more common now. What used to be called the Middle Ages, a time from the 11th to 15th centuries, is now often counted as the High Middle Ages (1000 to 1300) and Late Middle Ages (1300 to some time in the 15th century).
