Is it possible to get the declared name of variable within a method? Groovy

I was wondering if it's posible to get the declared name of a variable within a method? So I can print it out or do something with the name later on. Hopefully the below code example gives more meaning.

Code example:

class Foo {

   public method(String param) {
       println param.(the method I don't know) +": "+ param
   }
}


Foo foo = new Foo()
String myStringVar = "This is a string for testing"
foo.method(myStringVar) //Should print out: "myStringVar: This is a string for testing"

AFAIK this is not possible out of the box. But you can use named arguments:
