Hi,

Only the addressee and recipient jids are available in the stanza itself, if 
you want a human readable name, you'll need a bit more.

You can either use the roster name, which is the user supplied name (not the 
contact), if filled, or an extension like VCard (vCard4, XEP-0292, should be 
preferred, but vcard-tmp, XEP-0054, is surely more widespread) to get contact 
provided name/nickname.
