How do I see partition names in Linux?

View Specific Disk Partition in Linux

To view all partitions of specific hard disk use the option ‘-l’ with device name. For example, the following command will display all disk partitions of device /dev/sda. If you’ve different device names, simple write device name as /dev/sdb or /dev/sdc.

Where are partition labels stored?

The question I linked to and that you deemed not helpful, explained that the UUID is stored in the superblock, which is a part of the file system and fully contained within the partition. So, if you do a dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/dev/sdb1 , both sda1 and sdb1 will have the same label and UUID.
