XSLT: Computing the name of a generated element

I want to generate an element tag with the name of the parent of the
actual node. I've tried:

<xsl:element name="name(..)">
and <xsl:element name="../name()">

But the generated output is:

<name(..)> ... </name(..)>
or <../name()> ... </../name()>

So the specified element's 'name' is taken literally. Is there a way to
get it computed, instead of being a fixed literal?

Thakns,

name="{some expression}"
