You can use the package hyperref with the commands autoref and nameref
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\begin{document}
\section{aaa}\label{sec:1}
Hello \autoref{sec:1}\qquad\nameref{sec:1}
\subsection{bbb}\label{subsec:1}
Hello \autoref{subsec:1}\qquad\nameref{subsec:1}
\begin{figure}[!ht]
whatever
\caption{bla}\label{fig:1}
\end{figure}
\autoref{fig:1}\qquad\nameref{fig:1}
\end{document}
The code above produce the following result:
In relation to the comments here an example without hyperref by using nameref and cleveref
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{nameref}
\usepackage{cleveref}
\begin{document}
\section{aaa}\label{sec:1}
Hello \nameref{sec:1}\qquad\cref{sec:1}\qquad\namecref{sec:1}
\subsection{bbb}\label{subsec:1}
Hello \nameref{subsec:1}\qquad\cref{subsec:1}\qquad\namecref{subsec:1}
\begin{figure}[!ht]
whatever
\caption{bla}\label{fig:1}
\end{figure}
\nameref{fig:1}\qquad\cref{fig:1}\qquad\namecref{fig:1}
\end{document}
Variations of the same theme. All the title-/nameref packages have to remember the current title somewhere.
Package nameref
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{nameref}
\makeatletter
\newcommand*{\currentname}{\@currentlabelname}
\makeatother
\begin{document}
\section{My section name}
The name of the current section is: "\currentname".\\
It should be: "My section name".
\subsection{My subsection name}
The name of the current subsection is: "\currentname".\\
It should be: "My subsection name".
\end{document}
Package titleref
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{titleref}
\makeatletter
\newcommand*{\currentname}{\TR@currentTitle}
\makeatother
\begin{document}
\section{My section name}
The name of the current section is: "\currentname".\\
It should be: "My section name".
\subsection{My subsection name}
The name of the current subsection is: "\currentname".\\
It should be: "My subsection name".
\end{document}
Same result.
Package zref-titleref
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{zref-titleref}
\makeatletter
\newcommand*{\currentname}{\zref@getcurrent{title}}
% or \newcommand*{\currentname}{\zref@titleref@current}
\makeatother
\begin{document}
\section{My section name}
The name of the current section is: "\currentname".\\
It should be: "My section name".
\subsection{My subsection name}
The name of the current subsection is: "\currentname".\\
It should be: "My subsection name".
\end{document}
Same result.
