Can't access multi-index names when iterating over rows

[konstantinmiller]

When iterating over rows with either iterrows() or itertuples(), it is not possible to access index names if you have a multi-index.

So, I would expect something like that to work

import pandas as pd

df = pd.DataFrame(
    index=pd.MultiIndex(
        names=['ind1'],
        levels=[['a']],
        codes=[[0]]
    ),
    data={'C': [42]})

ind, row = next(df.iterrows())
row.C
ind.ind1

However, since ind is not a named tuple, it throws an AttributeError: 'tuple' object has no attribute 'ind1'

Same with itertuples():

import pandas as pd

df = pd.DataFrame(
    index=pd.MultiIndex(
        names=['ind1'],
        levels=[['a']],
        codes=[[0]]
    ),
    data={'C': [42]})

row = next(df.itertuples())
ind = row.Index
row.C
ind.ind1

throws AttributeError: 'tuple' object has no attribute 'ind1'

Thanks @konstantinmiller for the report. closing as duplicate of #27407. you may want to add a comment there to maybe include iterrows in that discussion.
