• Every thread in Java has some name, It may be default name generated by JVM or customized name provided by programmer.

/* Returns this thread's name. */
public final String getName();

/* Changes the name of this thread to be equal to the argument name.  */
public final void setName(String name);


Thread.currentThread().getName();
Thread.currentThread().setName("Code");

package com.example.thread;

/**
 * @author code.factory
 *
 */
public class ThreadName {
	public static void main(String... args) {
		System.out.println(Thread.currentThread().getName());
		MyThread t = new MyThread();
		System.out.println(t.getName());
		Thread.currentThread().setName("Code");
		System.out.println(Thread.currentThread().getName());
	}
}

class MyThread extends Thread {
	public void run() {
		System.out.println("Child Thread");
	}
}
