So-and-so.
But his name was not written because he did not wish to redeem.
Rashi on Ruth 4:1:1

[
אַלְמֹנִי
is derived from] '
אַלְמוֹן
' [=widower], bereft of a name; for I do not want to mention it, because it is a secret matter.
Hidden.
Similar to

Rashi on I Samuel 21:3:3-4
"Such and such a one. Some say that it comes from 'wonderful', and 'almighty' from 'mute', as he has no known name to the speaker."
Ibn Ezra on Ruth 4:1:2
to the anonymous
Heb. לַפַּלְמוֹנִי. This word is like two: פְּלוֹנִי אַלְמוֹנִי, and Jonathan ben Uziel translated it in the Book of Samuel (I 21: 3): “covered and hidden,” like (Deut. 17:8): “If a matter be hidden (יִפָּלֵא) from you.” אַלְמוֹנִי means a widower (אַלְמָן) without a name, [i.e., bereft of a name] for he [the angel] did not explain to him what he was and what his name was.
Rashi on Daniel 8:13:3
“Boaz went up to the gate and sat there and, behold, the redeemer of whom Boaz had spoken was passing; he said: Turn aside, sit here so-and-so. He turned aside and sat” (Ruth 4:1).
“Boaz went up to the gate and sat there and, behold, the redeemer of whom Boaz had spoken…” – what, was he standing behind the gate? Rabbi Shmuel bar Naḥman said: Even if he was at the ends of the earth, the Holy One blessed be He would have flown him and brought him there, so that righteous one would not be sitting in distress waiting for the matter to be settled…
Ruth Rabbah 7:7
Boaz went up to the gate, the Beth Din of the Sanhedrin, and sat there with the elders, when lo, the redeemer of whom Boaz had spoken to Ruth passed by. "Come over," said he, "and sit down here, you, whose ways are secret." So he turned aside and sat down.
