If you use the lubridate package, this is very easy.
See the help file for month() within lubridate for more examples.
library(lubridate)
x <- now()
month(x)
month(x, label = TRUE)
month(x, label = TRUE, abbr = FALSE)
as.character(month(x, label = TRUE, abbr = FALSE))
When you run the above your get the following.
> library(lubridate)
> x <- now()
> month(x)
[1] 8
> month(x, label = TRUE)
[1] Aug
Levels: Jan < Feb < Mar < Apr < May < Jun < Jul < Aug < Sep < Oct < Nov < Dec
> month(x, label = TRUE, abbr = FALSE)
[1] August
12 Levels: January < February < March < April < May < June < July < ... <
December
> as.character(month(x, label = TRUE, abbr = FALSE))
[1] "August"
