Which famous lord did shakespeare name his acting group after?
Shakespeare did not name the acting group he belonged to. Elizabethan theatre groups did not name themselves; they were required by law to have a noble or royal patron and the theatre group took its name from that person. If the patron changed his title, the name of the company changed; if the patron was replaced by someone else (as happened with the company Shakespeare belonged to) then the name of the company changed. Even if the theatre company has some say in what they were called, and they didn't, Shakespeare was not the leader of the company. The brothers Richard and Cuthbert Burbage were the leaders. The patrons of the company were Henry Carey, the Lord Chamberlain and King James I.

It didn't. The Lord Chamberlain's Men was not a theatre. It was a company of actors and other men who put on plays. They were formed in 1594. They took their name from their patron--by law, acting companies of this kind had to have a patron--who was the Lord Chamberlain. In 1603, they got a new patron and a new name, although it was still the same group of actors. Their new patron was King James I, and so their new name was The King's Men. There never was such a thing as the King's Men Theatre.

Who was the most important patron to William Shakespeare?
Henry Wriothesley, 3rd Earl of Southampton. He was the patron for Shakespeare's long poems Venus and Adonis and The Rape of Lucrece. Really he was the only patron Shakespeare ever had. The theatre company of which he had a part also had patrons, but they were patrons of the whole company, whether or not Shakespeare was in it.
What is a patron of a theatre company?
Today, a patron is an audience member, or a person who makes financial contributions to a non-profit theater. In Shakespeare's day, a patron was a person of noble rank who served as the sponsor of the acting company, lending his name and protection to the company, preventing the actors from being arrested as vagrants and vagabond because they wee technically members of the lord's household staff.
Why Shakespeare change their theater name?
They did not change the name of the theatre. The name of their theatrical company did change when they changed patrons from Henry Carey the Lord Chamberlain to King James 1. The name of Elizabethan theatrical companies always gave the name of the patron of the company to show that the company was within the law. (An acting company without a patron was liable to prosecution as vagabonds) When the patron changed, the name automatically changed. The name could even change if the patron's title changed.
Who placed Shakespeare's theater under protection?
If when you say "Shakespeare's Theatre" you are thinking of a building, then the answer is nobody, but in any case there never was a building known as "Shakespeare's Theatre". Theatre buildings were not "placed under protection". If you mean by "Shakespeare's Theatre", Shakespeare's Acting Company (and confusing these is like thinking the words "team" and "stadium" mean the same thing), they did have patrons, as all legitimate acting companies were required by law to have. All acting companies had to have a noble patron or they were considered to be vagabonds and vagrants. The patron lent his or her name to the company in order to allow it to comply with the law. In a sense this is like placing it under protection. The patrons of the acting company Shakespeare belonged to (he was not the leader of it or its most famous member at the time) had The Lord Chamberlain as its patron up to 1603 and afterwards King James I was their patron.
Which theatre company did William Shakespeare join and then change their name?
Shakespeare spent most of his productive life with the same theatre company, which changed its name three times. The names of theatre companies in Shakespeare's day came from the noble or royal patron of the company. The actors were theoretically employed by this patron, although really they were both self-supporting and self-directing. If you work for McDonald's, do you think you can change the name of the company? Of course you can't, and neither could Shakespeare. The first patron of the company was Henry Carey, the Lord Chamberlain, and so it was called The Lord Chamberlain's Men. Mr. Carey died but his son George Carey, Lord Hunsdon took over the patronage, so the company was called Lord Hunsdon's Men. Later he got promoted to Lord Chamberlain, so they became the Lord Chamberlain's Men again. When Queen Elizabeth died her successor James I became patron of the company which naturally was then known as The King's Men.
