Not the most direct way, but how about H5Iget_name? http://www.hdfgroup.org/HDF5/doc/RM/RM_H5I.html#Identify-GetName
"If the object identified by obj_id is an attribute, as determined via H5Iget_type, H5Iget_name retrieves the name of the object to which that attribute is attached. To retrieve the name of the attribute itself, use H5Aget_name."
