iOS: How to get a proper Month name from a number?

Question

I know that the NSDateformatter suite of functionality is a boon for mankind, but at the same time it is very confusing to me. I hope you can help me out.

Another option is to use the monthSymbols method:

int monthNumber = 11;   //November
NSDateFormatter *df = [[[NSDateFormatter alloc] init] autorelease];
NSString *monthName = [[df monthSymbols] objectAtIndex:(monthNumber-1)];

Note that you'll need to subtract 1 from your 1..12 monthNumber since monthSymbols is zero-based.
