    You can use the Xrm.Page.context.getUserId() method to get the System User GUID. You would then need to use OData to retrieve the User Name.

    Something like this:

    function GetName() {
    var odataSelect = Xrm.Page.context.getServerUrl() + "/xrmservices/2011/OrganizationData.svc/SystemUserSet?$select=FullName&$filter=SystemUserId eq guid'" + Xrm.Page.context.getUserId() + "'";
    var retrieveReq = new XMLHttpRequest();
    retrieveReq.open("GET", odataSelect, false);
    retrieveReq.setRequestHeader("Accept", "application/json");
    retrieveReq.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/json; charset=utf-8");
    retrieveReq.onreadystatechange = function () {
        getResult(this);
    };
    retrieveReq.send();
}

function getResult(retrieveReq) {
    if (retrieveReq.readyState == 4) {
        if (retrieveReq.status == 200) {
            var retrieved = this.parent.JSON.parse(retrieveReq.responseText).d;
            var retrievedValue = retrieved.results[0].FullName;
            alert(retrievedValue);
        }
    }
}
