The earliest known recorded name - Anonymous

This quote was added by passerby2560
Kushim is supposedly the earliest known recorded name of a person in writing. The name "Kushim" is found on several Uruk period c. 3400-3000 BC clay tablets used to record transactions of barley. It is uncertain if the name refers to an individual, a generic title of an officeholder, or an institution. So despite the many kings or queens that have come and gone, the earliest known recorded name is the one of an average person doing their day job.
