Is there a way to get group type Id by group name?

Did you try a!groupsByName()?

The Appian documentation, specifically the list of functions, is a great resource to find such things.

What is the requirement? Do you mean Group Id by Group name or is it the same question what you have asked.

Group Id by Group Name - a!groupsbyType() - Returns the Group Id

a!groupsByName("Group Name")

Edit: Removed group type Id by group Name described in my answer. Refer Mike’s detail on it.

Group Type Id by Group Name

For what it's worth - the code you've given here returns the Group Type Name, but that is different from the type ID - I'm unable to find a pathway (with OOB functionality or even the rules available in People Functions plug-in) to trace back to Group Type ID.

Caveat: I've basically never needed to directly interact with Group Type IDs (and never use anything other than "custom"), so I'm unclear what use case could possibly require it.

I've tried getting the group Type Id but most of it returns custom. Not sure what to be expected.

same here - i had the exact same test code going.  but as i mentioned in my edit, i've also never had the occasion to worry about it, so i'm not sure what limitations it's actually causing the OP in this case.

Thank you 

Is that what you want? What is it that you are looking for?

I was looking to get dynamically the Group Type Id by Group Type Name to pass as an argument for  a!groupsbyType(), i didnt get it so created a constant to hold group type and passing it to the function to get all the groups.
