How to get the model name in view from self in django

IN my views.py , i want to get the Model name from self

I tried this self.__class__.__name__

but it gave me the class name of view not the Model

EDIT:

class ObjectCreate(CreateView):

    def get_template_names(self):
        m = self.__class__.__name__

You can do that, in a model view, self is not an object model instance.

You should write:

self.model.__name__

Edited 6 years later due ihhcarus comment:

For Django 1.11 you can use self.__class__.__name__ to get the model class name.
