In Salesforce some time we have requirement to retrieve object name from record ID. So We can done this by two approach.

| Contact contactRecord = new Contact(FirstName = 'Test', LastName = 'Contact');
insert contactRecord;
// contactRecord.Id.getSObjectType() return Sobject Type of record then we convert them into String
String objectName = String.valueOf(contactRecord.Id.getSObjectType());

Second approach
- Get Sobject type from record id by using getSObjectType() method.
- Describe Sobject type by using getDescribe() method.
- Then get name of object from object describe by using getName() method .

| Contact contactRecord = new Contact(FirstName = 'Test', LastName = 'Contact');
insert contactRecord;
/*
- first we get Sobject type by using statement contactRecord.Id.getSObjectType()
- we describe Sobject type by using getDescribe() method.
- then from object describe by using getName() we can get name of that object
*/
String objectName = contactRecord.Id.getSObjectType().getDescribe().getName();
