Syntax :Timestamp.tzname() Parameters : None Return : name of timezone

Example #1: Use Timestamp.tzname() function to return the name of the time zone to which the given Timestamp object has been set to. 

Python3

# importing pandas as pd
import pandas as pd

# Create the Timestamp object
ts = pd.Timestamp(year = 2011,  month = 11, day = 21,
                  hour = 10, second = 49, tz = 'US/Central')

# Print the Timestamp object
print(ts)

Output : Now we will use the Timestamp.tzname() function to return the name of the timezone. 

Python3

# return the timezone info
ts.tzname()

Output : As we can see in the output, the Timestamp.tzname() function has returned the name of the timezone to which the given Timestamp object belongs to. ‘CST’ stands for ‘Central Standard Time’   Example #2: Use Timestamp.tzname() function to return the name of the time zone to which the given Timestamp object has been set to.

# importing pandas as pd
import pandas as pd

ts = pd.Timestamp(year = 2009, month = 5, day = 31,
                  hour = 4, second = 49, tz = 'Europe/Berlin')

# Print the Timestamp object
print(ts)

Output : Now we will use the Timestamp.tzname() function to return the name of the timezone. 

Python3

# return the timezone info
ts.tzname()

Output : As we can see in the output, the Timestamp.tzname() function has returned the name of the timezone to which the given Timestamp object belongs to. ‘CEST’ stands for ‘Central European Summer Time’.
