™️ We can also use a/an with names when we mean 'a person called ...' or when we refer to a picture created by a particular artist:
🔺Is there a Michael Brown working in your company?
🔺I think there was a Gainsborough in the gallery. (= a picture by Gainsborough)
™️ We may use definite article with the names of groups of people:
🔺The Tories blocked the bill yesterday.

🔺Manchester United supporters clashed with the police.
