If you want to get category details by category name, category slug, and category ID then you should use get_term_by().

// Get term by name ''news'' in Categories taxonomy.
$category = get_term_by('name', 'news', 'category')

// Get term by name ''news'' in Tags taxonomy.
$tag = get_term_by('name', 'news', 'post_tag')

// Get term by name ''news'' in Custom taxonomy.
$term = get_term_by('name', 'news', 'my_custom_taxonomy')

// Get term by name ''Default Menu'' from theme's nav menus.
// (Alternative to using wp_get_nav_menu_items)
$menu = get_term_by('name', 'Default Menu', 'nav_menu');

Use get_category_by_slug. E.g.

<?php
$catObj = get_category_by_slug('category-slug'); 
$catName = $catObj->name;
?>
