Hi, yes by casting the block to IContent

var content = myBlock as IContent;

if (content != null)
{
    var name = content.Name;
}

Or do you mean the type's displayname?

var repo = ServiceLocator.Current.GetInstance<BlockTypeRepository>();
var blockType = repo.Load<T>();
return blockType.DisplayName;
