To get the package name of a Software that you see it in Ubuntu Software Center (in this case "Full GNOME Desktop Environment"), you can use the following command in terminal:

$ apt-cache search "Full GNOME Desktop Environment"
gnome - Full GNOME Desktop Environment, with extra components

So, the package name in this case is gnome.

To install it on a machine where you don't have an internet connection, you can use one method from this answer.
