The 1960 version of the movie Spartacus had a historical and technical adviser by the name of Vittorio Nino Novarese. I may have included his name in a previous answer but cannot locate it. To continue Mr Novarese was able to answer as a matter of course many questions about ancient Rome with certainty. He helped the production of Spartacus by knowing what the Romans ate for breakfast gladiator training techniques and the proceedings of the Roman Senate. Mr Novarese was a history professor and graduate of Rome's State School for Cinematographical Studies. In addition he is recognized as a world authority on ancient military history. He spent 18 months insuring the accuracy of the 1961 Version of Spartacus.

It is impossible to say how many people have a certain name. Not all countries register all births and record such things. Nor is there any centralised register. In addition similar names can be totally different in different languages and contractions of names differ from place to place.
As the title should tell you, the movie Spartacus is about the gladiator who escaped along with others and terrorized Italy. Much of the movie versions of Spartacus are fictionalized as very little is actually known about the person called Spartacus.
Yes, from a place called Thrace.

Spartacus died by a Roman senator called Crassus, He crucified Spartacus along with 6000 other slaves. This was to warn slaves not to try and destroy the Roman Empire. Hope this helps :)
technical is first
You can see the link from two different angles: On one side, the communist theorists themselves saw Spartacus as a forefather and used the myth of Spartacus as part of their own public myths. This has to do with the way communist thinkers (Marx, Engels etc.) saw history as a never-ending conflict between two classes - the haves and the have nots (they called this class struggle). In this, they saw the communist movement of the 19th and 20th century as having the same fundamental role as Spartacus did in Roman Antiquity - both Spartacus and the communists were representatives and leaders of the "oppressed classes". All schools of communism (Leninism, Trotskyism, Maoism, etc.) subscribe to this analysis of history, so you can say that for all communism this link is self-evident.As such, they themselves created a bond between communism and Spartacus. Moreover, in countries where communism was the dominant ideology, Spartacus was used as a public motive, especially in the field of sports, as the (for example, some sporting events were named "Spartakiads", sport clubs were called Spartak eg. Spartak Moscow etc.) On the other hand, this link is hard to be seen from practitioners of other historical schools - and they would explain this connection as a founding myth or a legitimizing myth. As communism was a radical ideology breaking away from the past, but still requiring historical legitimization, they could only use extremely recent (and thus potentially weak) figures (Lenin, Marx etc.) or ancient images (of which they chose Spartacus as being a low-class radical figure) for the task, even where there was limited overlap in goals.
