Everyone has two different sets of DNA. One 'set' is from your mother and the other 'set' is from your father.
Each parent gives you 23 chromosomes, so you have a total of 46 chromosomes (two different sets) in each of your 100 trillion cells (except for the few types of cells, e.g. red blood cells, that do not have a nucleus).
So, I guess the 'name' for such a person is 'normal'.
The condition of having an abnormal number of chromosomes is called Aneuploidy.
