To expand on the wb_command part, the released versions don't have a friendly way to find that information, but that will be improved somewhat in the next release - the -file-information command will print some information from the XML in cifti files, including parcel names in cifti index order when applicable.
In the XML, the parcel names occur in elements like this: <Parcel Name="V1"> and their order in the XML is in CIFTI index order, so you could figure it out that way. We used to call surface vertices "nodes", so some confusion may ensue in our responses if you meant graph nodes (parcels).
