Shakespeare's real name was recorded as Gulielmus Shakspere at his baptism in 1564, which is the Latin word for William. He called himself 'Will' in his Sonnets and most of his contemporaries referred to him as William Shakespeare, so it's safe to say that this was his name.

William Shakespeare was an English playwright, poet and actor. He is widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world's pre-eminent dramatist. He is often called England's national poet and the "Bard of Avon".
