No. The only thing that affects the validity of a will is whether or not it was executed in conformance with state laws, whether or not the testator had the requisite testamentary capacity and whether or not there was any fraud, mistake or undue influence. The misspelling of a name might be a flag or evidence of lack of testamentary capacity, if that name is one that the testator never would have overlooked if he/she were fully aware of things, but in and of itself would not be proof of lack of capacity. There are many explanations for misspelling of names that have nothing to do with validity of the will itself.
