I want to get just the name of the parent directory for a file.

Example: When I have path=/a/b/c/d/file, I want only d and not /a/b/c/d (which I get from dirname $path) as output.

Is there any sophisticated way to do this?

It sounds like you want the basename of the dirname:

You can use pwd to get the current working directory, and use parameter expansion to avoid forking it into another (sub)shell.
