Macbeth was very real. He was king of Scotland for 17 years from 1040 to 1057. The original King Macbeth's name was actual Mac Bethad meaning Son of Bethad. There are all kinds of people with the surname Macbeth living now. Google "Ryan Macbeth" if you don't believe me. It's a real name.

Why is the play Macbeth not called Lady Macbeth?

The play is called Macbeth because the story centers around Macbeth. Although Lady Macbeth is an important character, she is only the second most important character. In addition, Shakespeare had a habit of naming plays after kings, even if the king is not the most important character in the play (as in Henry IV Parts 1 and 2 and the three parts of Henry VI). So even if you think Lady Macbeth was as important as Macbeth (and I suggest that's tough to argue), the play is still called Macbeth, because he did not write a play called Queen Margaret even if she's more important than Henry VI her husband.
