Getting the object variable name for the new object

I have an object constructor such as:

function myObjConstr () {
    console.log(object_name);
}

I want this results:

var name1 = new myObjConstr(); //print in console log "name1"
var nameff = new myObjConstr(); //print in console log "nameff"

you can make a function constructor myObjConstr(), thenafter you can make new myObjConstr().

1) function constructor

function myObjConstr (objName) {
    this.objName = objName;
}

2) make object of type myObjConstr

var name1 = new myObjConstr("name1");
var name2 = new myObjConstr("name2");

3) if you want to print the value, 

console.log(name1.objName)

You can't pass the variable name to the constructor. Instead you can convert an array of names of variables to array of objects 

let names = [
  'name1',
  'nameff'
]
let objects = names.map(name => myObjConstr(name));
function myObjConstr(name){
  this.name = name;
  console.log(this.name);
}

You would need to pass the object name to the constructor: 

function myObjConstr (obj_name) {
    this.object_name = obj_name;
    console.log(this.object_name);
}

var name1 = new myObjConstr("name1");
var nameff = new myObjConstr("nameff");
