Re:Who’s the First Person in History Whose Name We Know? (2015) by Retra on Friday August 05, 2016 @10:03PM (#12236709)
First principles and logical analysis do not tell you anything about circumstantial facts of human culture like "who was the first person to knit a sweater" or "was it a male or female name that happened to be found on the earliest artifact found by 2016."

Now, a male name might be more likely, but that tells you nothing about what it actually was. That kind of analysis is not appropriate for answering such a question. It answers some completely different question.
