Check this FEX submission. Or you can simply try following commands
[ret, name] = system('hostname')
name = getenv('COMPUTERNAME'); % for windows
name = getenv('HOSTNAME')

This does not work when running a VPN on a Mac (running Catalina); the hostname is replaced by an IP address.

Get the hostname of the local machine with built-in Java
name = string(java.net.InetAddress.getLocalHost().getHostName());
