Hamnet Shakespeare
Hamnet Shakespeare (baptised 2 February 1585 – buried 11 August 1596) was the only son of William Shakespeare and Anne Hathaway, and the fraternal twin of Judith Shakespeare. He died at the age of 11. Some Shakespearean scholars speculate on the relationship between Hamnet and his father's later play ''Hamlet'', as well as on possible connections between Hamnet's death and the writing of '' King John'', ''Romeo and Juliet'', ''Julius Caesar'', and ''Twelfth Night''. Life Little is known about Hamnet. Hamnet and his twin sister Judith were born in Stratford-upon-Avon and baptised on 2 February 1585 in Holy Trinity Church by Richard Barton of Coventry.

According to the record of his baptism in the Register of Solihull, he was christened "Hamlette Sadler". (See "Connecti ...

Hamnett
''Hamnett'', and its spelling variants ''Hamnet'' and ''Hannett'', is a personal name (now usually or only found as a surname). Etymology According to the ''Oxford Dictionary of Family Names in Britain and Ireland'', the modern name ''Hamnett'' originates in two medieval names, which came to sound the same around the sixteenth century. The first is the personal name ''Hamunet'': its use as a second name originated to indicate that a person was a child of someone called Hamunet. The earliest attested forms of this name occur in Old German, as ''Haimo''. This Old German name was borrowed into Old French, including into the Anglo-Norman dialect spoken in England, as ''Haim'', ''Haimes'' (in the nominative case), and ''Haimon'' (in the oblique case) — along with variant pronunciations and spellings, which became sources of English surnames like ''Hame'', ''Haim'', ''Haime'', ''Haimes'', ''Hains'', '' Haines'', ''Hayns'', ''Haynes'', ''Hammon'' and '' Hammond''. The form ''Haimon'' wa ...
