About Macbeth
Although appearing as a patronym (nope, it doesn't mean "son of Elizabeth"), Macbeth originated as a given name. It is derived from the Gaelic MacBeatha, describing a religious man.
The Shakespearean connection gives it a weightiness that could be difficult for a child to carry.
Pronounced mac-BETH.
