You can get the name of the current namespace with this trick, which takes advantage of :: creating a namespaced symbol for you in the current namespace:

(namespace ::x)

You probably don't want to use that value for anything, because if the code is compiled the internal representation will change. If you want to live dangerously, then in the browser you can then access the js object that holds the namespace like this:

(reduce (fn [ns n] (aget ns n))
        js/window
        (clojure.string/split (namespace ::x) #"\."))
