Hi , @amirabedhiafi
In PQ ,if your column type is 'Date', you can use the option 'Date'->'Month'->'Name of Month' to create a custom column.
You can also use function 'Date.MonthName' to create a custom column as below:
=Date.MonthName([Date], "en-GB")
In Dax, if you column type is 'Date', you can create a calculated column to extract the month.
Dax_monthname3 = 'Table'[Date].[Month]Dax_monthname4 = FORMAT('Table'[Date],"mmm")
Best regards,

@amirabedhiafi in DAX you will do
Month Name = FORMAT ( Table[Date], "MMM" ) //for abbreviated month name
Month Name = FORMAT( Table[Date], "MMMMM" ) //get full month name
In PQ you will do this
Date.ToText([Date Column], "MMM") //for abbreciated
Date.Text([Date Column], "MMMM" ) //for full month name
