How to Get the Month Names from the DateTime Series

To get the names of the months from the DateTime objects in a Pandas Series we use the dt.month_name() method of the Pandas library in Python.

Let us understand it better with an example:

Example:

Use the Series.dt.month_name() function to return the month names of the underlying DateTime data in the given series object. Return the names of the month in French language.

Output :

👁 datetime series created

Now we will use the Series.dt.month_name() function to return the names of the month of each timestamp in the given series object.

Output :

👁 month names returned

As we can see in the output, the Series.dt.month_name() function has successfully returned the names of the month in the specified language.
