Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
I don't know if you are asking about the text of the play or if this is a fanciful, speculative question for some project you might write, but in so far as the text of the play _Macbeth,_ written by William Shakespeare and first published in 1623 in the First Folio, goes, Lady Macbeth has no brother or sister!. She is isolated, alone with her husband whom she manipulates to her own self-destruction!. She has had children, but we don't see them!.

The single name is part of her royal status but also an emblem of her solitariness!. She has no name apart from her husband's, preceded by a title!. Simply to give her one--say, Muriel--would introduce a note of deflating comedy, and the play is anything but humorous!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
