∙ 11y agoThere are some Americans called Shakespeare, yes. Fred Shakespeare, for example. But if you are talking about William Shakespeare, the famous playwright, it is important to know that he has been dead for about 400 years, so he was, not is, and that he spent his entire life in England and so was English. Indeed, the only Americans when he was alive were people like Pocahontas and her father Powhatan. (Pocahontas was some ten years younger than Shakespeare's daughter Judith)

Why did Shakespeare call Hamlet Hamlet?
The story of Hamlet was around long before Shakespeare and in the form given to it by Belleforest was published about thirty years before Shakespeare wrote his play. The story had most likely previously been turned into a play. In all cases, the main character's name was Hamlet, which is why Shakespeare used this name for his play. It has nothing to do with Shakespeare's son. A play about an American President assassinated in a theatre by a guy called Booth would not be called Lincoln because the playwright had a son of that name.
