Like this in Google:

site:twitter.com "The Super Awesome Name"

You will ONLY find the person if he/she has his/her name anywhere in their account.

What I'd do is use the search feature on twitter to find the person. If I know what the person does, I can easily read their bio/about me and decide if that's the person I'm looking for.

It'll be difficult if the person doesn't use his/her real name. Google also might do the trick.

  If you know people they are likely to have as followers (friends, colleagues, etc) you could try
  Twiangulate: analyzing the connections between friends and followers
  
  If you can think of some keywords they might use in their bio or if you know the location they may have put you could try
  Follower Wonk: Twitter analytics, follower segmentation, social graph tracking, and more
  
  You could also try LocaFollow: Search Twitter users by Location and Bio and Create Twitter Lists: LocaFollow but I must admit it does not always give answers and is currently in Beta.

Its better if you have their email address used in their twitter account. Because there are some who restricts their account or might change their privacy settings that's why its hard to find them.
