For the default invariant DateTimeFormatInfo, this method returns a string from the GregorianCalendar:

1	"January"
2	"February"
3	"March"
4	"April"
5	"May"
6	"June"
7	"July"
8	"August"
9	"September"

11	"November"
12	"December"
13	""

Calendar objects can accommodate calendars with 13 months. For 12-month calendars, the empty string is always returned as the name of the 13th month.
