I don't know if there's a default OS solution that's any good, but I have a file of emoji + their text names and I use bemenu (like dmenu) to filter through it by name and put the selection on my clipboard. I bind this script to super-z on my keyboard in my Sway config. I based it on something[0] I found online that used dmenu or rofi and input the text for you. I adapted it to work better on Wayland by using a Wayland-native menu instead.

I'm probably missing some newer ones now. Not sure how the original list was made.
Emacs's M-x insert-char may be able to do something kinda similar. I know describe-char works great for identifying an emoji at least.
