Hi Dan,
That's a bit strange.
/etc/hostname is not a hidden file. To be a hidden file it would have to be with a dot: /etc/.hostname
So, you only can see that file if you navigate with your file-manager (Thunar) to /etc/ and choose "Show Hidden Files"?
Also, just for clarification as the thread title is a bit confusing.
There is:
* system name, which is also called host name, describing how your computer is called
* user name, which is obviously the name you log in with. And of course there can be more than one user.
There is not really such a term as "system user name".
