If you really really want the adapter to be aware of its name, you could 
walk thru the adapter registrations of the component registry until you 
find one that refers to the adapter, e.g. (pseudoish code):

registry = zope.component.getSiteManager()
for registration in registry.registeredAdapters():
     if registration.factory is YourAdapterClass:
         return registration.name
