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.

And with ARC :

+ (NSString *)monthNameFromDate:(NSDate *)date {
    if (!date) return @"n/a";
    NSDateFormatter *df = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
    [df setDateFormat:@"MM"];
    return [[df monthSymbols] objectAtIndex:([[df stringFromDate:date] integerValue] - 1)];
}
