any shorter method to do reduce this piece of code?

Question

Is there any other way to shorten this particular piece of code. Any built in function in java to solve this problem. Anyway I have written simple code so that the people can understand what I want to ask.

enter code here
    if(month==1){
        month1="January";
    }
    if(month==2){
        month1="Febuary";
    }
    if(month==3){
        month1="March";
    }
    if(month==4){
        month1="April";
    }
    if(month==5){
        month1="May";
    }enter code here
    if(month==6){
        month1="June";
    }
    if(month==7){
        month1="July";
    }
    if(month==8){
        month1="August";
    }
    if(month==9){
        month1="September";
    }
    if(month==10){
        month1="October";
    }
    if(month==11){
        month1="November";
    }
    if(month==12){
        month1="December";
    }

private static final String[] MONTHS = {
        "January",
        "February",
        "March",
        "April",
        "May",
        "June",
        "July",
        "August",
        "September",
        "October",
        "November",
        "December",
};

/**
 * Returns the name of the month with the stated number.
 * 
 * @param monthNumber - The number is 1-based, i.e. 1 = January.
 * @return the name ofthe month as a string.
 */
public String getMonthName(int monthNumber) {
    return MONTHS[monthNumber - 1];
}

@yashbadia - Also be aware of [this](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1038570/how-can-i-convert-an-integer-to-localized-month-name-in-java) technique which may be better still. — OldCurmudgeon, Sep 22 '17 at 14:26

public static final String var[] = {"January","February","March"....,"December"};
and then

months = var[month];//or month-1 if you index from 1
