A friend of Job. The name stands four times in the Tanakh, first at Job 2:11 and last at Job 42:9.

Job 2:11איוב ב:יא

וַֽיִּשְׁמְעוּ שְׁלֹשֶׁת רֵעֵי אִיּוֹב אֵת כָּל־הָרָעָה הַזֹּאת הַבָּאָה עָלָיו וַיָּבֹאוּ אִישׁ מִמְּקֹמוֹ אֱלִיפַז הַתֵּימָנִי וּבִלְדַּד הַשּׁוּחִי וְצוֹפַר הַנַּֽעֲמָתִי וַיִּוָּעֲדוּ יַחְדָּו לָבוֹא לָנֽוּד־לוֹ וּֽלְנַחֲמֽוֹ

Now when Job’s three friends heard of all this evil that was come upon him, they came every one from his own place, Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite; and they made an appointment together to come to bemoan him and to comfort him.

Job 11:1איוב יא:א

וַיַּעַן צֹפַר הַֽנַּעֲמָתִי וַיֹּאמַֽר

Then answered Zophar the Naamathite, and said:

Job 20:1איוב כ:א

וַיַּעַן צֹפַר הַנַּֽעֲמָתִי וַיֹּאמַֽר

Then answered Zophar the Naamathite, and said:

Job 42:9איוב מב:ט

וַיֵּלְכוּ אֱלִיפַז הַתֵּֽימָנִי וּבִלְדַּד הַשּׁוּחִי צֹפַר הַנַּעֲמָתִי וַֽיַּעֲשׂוּ כַּאֲשֶׁר דִּבֶּר אֲלֵיהֶם יְהוָה וַיִּשָּׂא יְהוָה אֶת־פְּנֵי אִיּֽוֹב

So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went, and did according as the LORD commanded them; and the LORD accepted Job.

A spelling is not a name. The written word צפר stands 5 times in the corpus, which is a different question and often a different number: the same letters can spell another name or an ordinary word, and a name written with a particle attached is a word that search never returns. It is here, as itself.
