if by this you mean "the name of an identifier refering to [whatever]",
this is a FAQ, and the answer is

1. you don't want to do that
2. your problem is not well behaved (there can be many answers to the
questions)
3. you can use something along the lines of

for name, item in locals().iteritems():
    if item is my_array:
        break
else:
    name = "anonymous object"
