Did Mary the Mother of God really have a sister named Mary?

John 19:25 Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene.

No in culture of the Hebrew people any relative can be called brother or sister.

Lot was Abraham’s nephew but he is called brother 

Gen 13:8 Abraham and lot bothers

Mt 13:55 Is not this the carpenter's son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas?

56 And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then hath this man all these things?

But other of the apostles saw I none, save James the Lord's brother.

not biological brothers and sisters, not children or Mary the Mother of God for sure!
but if Jesus has brothers why is only James called the “brother of the Lord”?

Amplified Bible
So the soldiers did these things. But standing by the cross of Jesus were His mother, His mother’s sister [Salome], Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene

You do realise the purpose of the commas is to identify separate people, as follows:

(1) Mary, the mother of Jesus; (2) Mary's sister, Salome, the mother of John; (3) Mary, the wife of Cleopas; (4) Mary Magdalene.

God doesn't have mother.
