You mean, the literal string name of the original symbol you passed as an alias? If so then you want the .stringof property.

void main () {
        int first;
        bool second;
        string third;
        
        mixin Foo!(first, second, third);
}

mixin template Foo(alias abc, alias def, alias ghi)
{
        static assert(abc.stringof == "first");
        static assert(def.stringof == "second");
        static assert(ghi.stringof == "third");
}

Aha! Yes, that's exactly what I was looking for! Thanks!
