There is no direct connection in a typical interpreter. The
relationship is part of the parent dictionary; and an object has no
knowledge of its parent(s).
The only way you can find out the name (or a name, it may have
several) is to look for that dictionary in likely places. Enumerating
each dictionary on the dictionary stack, looking for one containing
your target, may find a match.
PSAlter makes this easier; for every nonempty composite object that is
ever given a name, the first given name is recorded as part of the
object and is hence available.
