The name of a caught exception in Python can be obtained using the as keyword, which assigns the exception instance to a variable. For example:

try:
    # Some code that might raise an exception
except Exception as e:
    print(type(e).__name__)

In this example, the caught exception instance is assigned to the variable e. The type(e) function returns the type of the exception (e.g. ValueError, TypeError, etc.), and the __name__ attribute returns its name as a string.
