The earliest person whose name is known to historians appears to be "Narmer", an Egyptian Pharaoh of both Upper and Lower Egypt who lived in the 32nd century BC:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narmer
and
http://www.digitalegypt.ucl.ac.uk/chronology/narmer.html

The names of the Egyptian pharaohs living before Narmer are known, too. However, no evidence for these names is found in contemporary archaeological records. I have, therefore, not included these pharaohs in my answer as they are only documented by later generations.
There is, for example, some discussion going on if Narmer and Pharaoh Menes are identical:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Menes#Menes_and_Narmer

A rather interesting website on the early history of Egypt is "Digital Egypt for Universities":
http://www.digitalegypt.ucl.ac.uk/Welcome.html

According to Digital Egypt "the later sources open the history of Egypt with a king named Menes, and identified explicitly as the first king of Egypt. In current research there is no agreement as to which king known from contemporary sources should be identified as the king Menes of the later kinglists. Usually he is identified with either Narmer or Aha."

Some webpages refer to Ur-Nina (king of Lagash) as being the "earliest historical person known by name", such as
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_Middle_Eastern_history
or
http://www.google.com/search?q=%22ur-nina%22+%22earliest+historical+person+known+by+name%22

However, Ur-Nanshe (or Ur-Nina) probably lived in the first half of the 24th century BC (not in the 34th century):
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ur-Nanshe

The earliest Sumerian person to be documented by archaeology appears to be King Enmebaragesi, living some centuries later than Narmer (and earlier than Ur-Nanshe):

Greetings all, I am somewhat late to the party.

Narmer is an excellent answer, but not quite all the way there. You see, Narmer may be the first pharaoh to unify Egypt, but he had predecessors who ruled the smaller lands he conquered, and we know some of their names.

We certainly know Ka. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ka_%28Pharaoh%29

We probably know Iry-Hor. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iry-Hor
There is debate whether Iry-Hor was the man's name, or a "treasury mark" - nevertheless he follows a man known as "Scorpion I" which I believe is a name we gave him, not the name he was known by.

I got so excited by the existence of this community, and by this discussion in particular, that I had to join. This is my first post; if I have faux pas'd in any way my apologies.

Incidentally, before researching I thought the answer would have been King Den, but as it turns out he was the 5th Dynastic King of Egypt. But he's still awesome, because we have the label off of one of his shoes.

(I understand that the inscription reads something like "These are the sandals of King Den, and he's a very great King who defeats the Great Threat from the East")
