You mean from wizarding history, right? :-) Even in this case I don't
really understand. If we are talking about Shakespeare, there was no
such spell in "Macbeth", and Birnam wood moved to Dunsinane without
any witchcraft invoved. English soldiers were holding tree branches
for camouflage while advancing to Dunsinane, that's all (please
correct me if I'm wrong). Maybe "mobiliarbus" is from some other
shakespearean play? Could someone explain?
To answer your question, Shakespeare doesn't give any names AFAIK. One
of the witches calls another something like "Graymalkin", but I don't
think it's a name. I just remembered it because it sounded funny to me.
