Hi,
You can use the following code to get recordtype name in opportunity trigger.
  
for(opportunity opp : trigger.new)
    {
        string recordtypename = Schema.SObjectType.Opportunity.getRecordTypeInfosById().get(opp.recordtypeid).getname();
    }

You don't need apex trigger for this. You can do it by sinply creating formula field in the child object 
Opportunity__r.RecordType.Name

Thanks,
