How an i get product category name from it's id in woocommerce?

I want to create a shortcode for my wp+woocommerce site, that will show the name of the current products category. I get the category id from my url with get request – this is a specialty. It will look something like:

function this_product_category_name() {
$cat_id = (int) str_replace('-product_cat', '', $_GET['really_curr_tax']);
// here must be a string to get the $cat_name from $cat_id;
echo $cat_name;
}

add_shortcode( 'this_product_category_name', 'this_product_category_name' );

What can be the solution?

    Since you’re on the product category page, then you could use get_queried_object, and then from that object you could get the name like so:

    $cat = get_queried_object();

echo $cat->name;

//or if you want to get its id 

echo $cat->term_id;

//if you want to see the object and what's in it then you could use print_r()

print_r($cat);

    Let me know if that’s what you’re looking for.

    So your code would be something like this:

    function this_product_category_name() 
{

  $cat = get_queried_object();

  echo $cat->name;

}

add_shortcode( 'this_product_category_name', 'this_product_category_name' );

    Use get_term_by().

    function this_product_category_name() {
    $cat_id = (int) str_replace('-product_cat', '', $_GET['really_curr_tax']);
    $product_cat = get_term_by( 'id', $cat_id, 'product_cat' );
    echo $product_cat->name;
}
add_shortcode( 'this_product_category_name', 'this_product_category_name' );
