[SalesForce] Lookup Field Object

I have to get the object name of the lookup field in any object.
I am using:

sobjectType objectType=Schema.getGlobalDescribe().get('SA_S3_File__c').

then, to get the lookup field name, i am using

"fieldsMap.get(field).getDescribe().getType()+''=='REFERENCE'"

after getting the fieldname of lookup, how can i get the object name of those lookup fields?

I think you can do something like this:

Schema.DescribeFieldResult f = fieldsMap.get(field).getDescribe();   
System.debug(f.getRelationshipName())    
for(Schema.SObjectType reference : f.getReferenceTo())
{
    System.debug(reference.getDescribe().getName());
}

See docs here for more info.

You can get this data on the lookup field using the DescribeFieldResult.getReferenceTo() method. From that field describe result you can retrieve the related object's name or the display label.

// describe of your lookup field
Schema.DescribeFieldResult f = Schema.sObjectType.Account.fields.Employer_Root__c;
System.debug('Relationship Name: ' + f.getRelationshipName());    

for(Schema.SObjectType reference : f.getReferenceTo()) {
    System.debug('Lookup reference object name: ' + reference.getDescribe().getName());
    System.debug('Lookup reference object label: ' + reference.getDescribe().getLabel());
}
