Or, in one statement using ID methods

 

String sObjName = myId.getSObjectType().getDescribe().getName();

Hi,

You can easily get the object Name from Record Id:

 

 public string findObjectAPIName( String recordId ){
        if(recordId == null)
            return null;
        String objectAPIName = '';
        keyPrefix = recordId.substring(0,3);
         for( Schema.SObjectType obj : Schema.getGlobalDescribe().Values() ){
              String prefix = obj.getDescribe().getKeyPrefix();
               if(prefix == keyPrefix){
                         objectAPIName = obj.getDescribe().getName();
                          break;
                }
         }

         return objectAPIName;

}

To find the sObject name form recordId, use the below line of code and your variable data type should be Id not string in your apex method
Id recordId  = '005xxxxxxxxxx';
String sObjName = recordId.getSObjectType().getDescribe().getName();
