You will need to define a name to the panel yourself - since these are dynamic panels.
You can do this when you are creating them - via the Name property.

You can put i in the Tag property. Or you can set the Name property as the other two solutions mention.

What is generally better is to store a reference to the panels (in a List<Panel> or similar) and look them up in there, instead of relying on numbers. Or if the reason you want the number is to look something up in another data structure, store a reference to the target object in Tag.

You can add the click event handler to the panel:

C#

p1[i].Click += DynamicPanels_Click;

The click event would look like this:

C#

private void DynamicPanels_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    (sender as Panel).Name;   // get the name
}
