{%CurrentDocument.Parent.DocumentName%} or <%# CurrentDocument.Parent.DocumentName %>

The <%# CurrentDocument.Parent.DocumentName %> may not always work and can cause an error. I would try using this syntax instead: <%= CMS.MacroEngine.MacroResolver.Resolve("{%CurrentDocument.Parent.DocumentName#%}") %> but it may end up with the same error.
For ASCX transformation I would rather recommend building a custom method and use the API to get the information you want.

@Juraj is right. You need a full path: for ascx you need the <%= CMS.DocumentEngine.DocumentContext.CurrentDocument.Parent.DocumentName %>
