This would print the title to the screen.

<?php the_title(); ?>

For more customized and advancement you can use below:

function the_title( $before = '', $after = '', $echo = true ) {
    $title = get_the_title();

    if ( strlen( $title ) == 0 ) {
        return;
    }

    $title = $before . $title . $after;

Answer 2

$page_name = $wp_query->post->post_title;
