How to add chapter names in header

Question

I like to add chapter names in my header. Currently I used this command

 \fancyhead[RO,LE]{Chapter \thechapter}

which can only show the chapter number . How can I add names instead of numbers.

Try \fancyhead[RO,LE]{\leftmark}. If that does not help, please show us a minimal working example. — Johannes_B, Jun 9, 2015 at 11:15
Try this: Create \newcommand\myChapterTitle{}. At the beginning of each chapter, \renewcommand\myChapterTitle{whatever it is}. Then, in your heading, use \myChapterTitle instead of \thechapter. — RobtA, Jun 10, 2015 at 1:24

\fancyhead[RO,LE]{\leftmark} should do what you want.
