HTML5 validation metadata

So i've been surfing the web for half an hour and I could not find anything that would help with this error

Line 5, Column 269: Element meta is missing one or more of the following attributes: http-equiv, itemprop, name, property. … Javascript and you will not be able to operate the site without Javascript" /> Attributes for element meta: Global attributes name http-equiv content charset

Can someone tell me what is wrong with my meta tags?
My relevant code is below:


<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta content="etc etc info" />
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="30" />
<meta name="author"  content="my name" />

What is <meta content="etc etc info" /> for? I guess it should be something like <meta name="description" content="Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consetetur sadipscing elitr." />

You only provide the value for something, but with no name. So the browser doesn't know what this is for. You can find some more meta examples on wikipedia or many other sites.
