   One possibility:

   http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/get_category_parents

   And here's a manual method for collecting the name of the parent category (if there is one) -- for WordPress 2.3 and above:
   

   <?php
   $category = $wp_query->get_queried_object();
   if ( $category->category_parent ) {
   	$cat_parent = $wpdb->get_var("SELECT name from $wpdb->terms WHERE term_id = $category->category_parent");
   }
   ?>

   For older versions of WordPress:
   

   <?php
   $category = $wp_query->get_queried_object();
   if ( $category->category_parent ) {
   	$cat_parent = $wpdb->get_var("SELECT cat_name from $wpdb->categories WHERE cat_ID = $category->category_parent");
   }
   ?>

   Under either bit of code, $cat_parent will hold the name of the category parent (again, if there is one).

   The code above works only if i'm in a category template. If i'm on a single template nothing happens. Any ideas?
