First surviving personal name

According to Official Guinness Records,

The earliest surviving personal name is seemingly that of a predynastic king of Upper Egypt ante 3050 BC, who is indicated by the hieroglyphic sign for a scorpion. It has been suggested that the name should be read as Sekhen. Information from Archives (e.g.1994). Submitted for use in Scholastic's Modern Marvels.
