Have a look at lily/chord.cc:
Chord:banter_str (..)
That routine constructs a chord name from a list of pitches and
given inversion. It would be Good to have other chord name schemes
too (like more 'traditional american', or whatever). Actually,
returning a string is a bit nasty, a molecule would be better.

See parser.yy, look for 'chord'. Also, see lily/chord.cc:
/*
construct from parser output
*/
Chord::Chord (..)
Where a chord is constructed from a:
* tonic
* list of additions
* list of subtractions
* inversion pitch
