Well, it's not :

{{ monthnumber|date:"M" }}

You should try this :

{{ datetimeobj|date:"M" }}

You'll need a custom template filter to convert the number into a month name. Pretty simple if you use the calendar module from the standard library:

import calendar

@register.filter
def month_name(month_number):
    return calendar.month_name[month_number]

Usage example: {{ 5|month_name }} will output May

Just in case you do not want to format a date object passed into a Django template (like the other answers clearly show), but rather you'd prefer to simply get the current date's month number; here is the built-in tag you can use to do that:

{% now "n" %}

From the docs: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.1/ref/templates/builtins/#now

Here are the built in date tags you can use with {% now [""] %}
