import pandas as pd

files = glob.glob('path to dir/*.csv')
df = None

for i, f in enumerate (files):
    if i == 0:
        df = pd.read_csv(f)
        df['fname'] = f
    else:
        tmp = read_csv(f)
        tmp['fname'] = f

You could use os.listdir() in order to get the file name:

import os
file_name = os.listdir() # you need to use the path to the directory of the file

file_name_noext = file_name.replace(".csv", "") # in order to remove the .csv part

Now if you have a DataFrame called data:

import pandas as pd
data = pd.DataFrame()
data[file_name_noext] = file_name_noext # to update the dataframe
