How do I get the taxonomy term name of the current taxonomy term page.tpl.php?
Try..

http://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/modules--taxonomy--taxonomy.module/function/taxonomy_term_load/7

$term = taxonomy_term_load(arg(2));
$title = $term-&gt;name;


arg(2) should return the tid of the taxonomy page (taxonomy/term/tid).
