Of this name

I think I saw a sentence like this in a movie. "Did you see a person of this name?"

Can you also say 'did you see a person with this name?/ did you see a person who has this name'?

Yes, absolutely. The expression as you quote it is a bit uncommon in current US usage. It has a formal ring to it.

(I'm guessing that the person questioned is being shown the name in written form.)

Yes. It sounds a bit like Jack Webb or Humphrey Bogart.
