It depends on how you define "first" and how you define "named after a man".
The book of Job, named after the (male) central character, was probably one of the earliest books of The Bible to be written.
In the order in which they appear in the modern Bible, the answer would be "Leviticus" (named ... sort of ... after Levi) or Joshua (named, obviously, after Joshua).
Since they were originally written in Hebrew, the first book to feature a man's name in the title is Joshua (Hebrew Sefer Y'hoshua). The Hebrew name for Leviticus translates to "and he called", where "he" refers to JHVH; it didn't become "Leviticus" until translated into Greek.
