The point being that the format you use has to match that of the data string you have... — Wain, Apr 27 '15 at 05:56

Try this

NSDateFormatter *dateFormat = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[dateFormat setDateFormat:@"dd-MM-yyyy"];
NSDate *date = [dateFormat dateFromString:@"30-07-2013"];

 [dateFormat setDateFormat:@"dd MMM"];
NSString *strDate=[dateFormat stringFromDate:date];
NSLog(@"strDate : %@",strDate);

You should use `yyyy` instead of `YYYY`. Both are not same – Anil Varghese Apr 27 '15 at 05:54
"dd MMM" format returns Month name in 3 Characters only. Please try below code if you want full name of month. – Malav Soni Apr 27 '15 at 05:59

@MalavSoni To get the month full name, Just add one more "M", date format of "MMMM" will do the job – Anil Varghese Apr 27 '15 at 06:05

Please try this

NSDateFormatter *dateFormat = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[dateFormat setDateFormat:@"dd-MM-yyyy"];
NSDate *date = [dateFormat dateFromString:@"30-07-1983"];

NSDateComponents *components = [[NSCalendar currentCalendar] components:(NSCalendarUnitDay | NSCalendarUnitMonth) fromDate:date];

NSLog(@"%d %@",(int)[components day],[[[NSDateFormatter new] monthSymbols] objectAtIndex:(components.month-1)]);
