Shakespeare's Original Name Is William Shakespeare! The questioner might be referring to the entry in the baptismal register for Shakespeare which reads "Guliemus filius Johannes Shakspere", but it is in Latin. Translated into English this means William son of John Shakspere. Yes, it was spelled like that and no, it doesn't make the slightest difference, because people in that time (like a lot of people today), didn't worry about spelling. Indeed, the idea of having a "real name", an "original name" or an "official name" would have been quite foreign to Shakespeare or anyone at his time.
