You can convert with IntlDateFormatter function

$dateObj   = DateTime::createFromFormat('!m', $luna);

$formatter = new IntlDateFormatter("ro_RO",
                                    IntlDateFormatter::FULL, 
                                    IntlDateFormatter::FULL, 
                                    'Europe/Bucharest', 
                                    IntlDateFormatter::GREGORIAN,
                                    'MMMM');
        
echo $formatter->format($dateObj).' - '.$an; // Iunie - 2014

Try This 

setlocale(LC_TIME, 'fr_FR'); 
$monthName  = strftime("%B",mktime(0, 0, 0, $_GET['month']));
echo  $monthName ; //It outputs month name in your local language that you have set in 'setlocale'

In this case it is set to French. Similarly you can use it for your locale by passing your language code like:

sr_BA - Serbian (Montenegro);
sr_CS - Serbian (Serbia);
sr_ME - Serbian (Serbia and Montenegro);

Happy coding!!

You can use strftime (http://php.net/manual/en/function.strftime.php):

setlocale(LC_TIME, array('ro.utf-8', 'ro_RO.UTF-8', 'ro_RO.utf-8', 'ro', 'ro_RO', 'ro_RO.ISO8859-2')); 

$luna=$_GET['month'];
$an=$_GET['year'];

$dateObj   = DateTime::createFromFormat('!m', $luna);
$monthName = strftime('%B', $dateObj->getTimestamp());
$data='Arhiva '.$monthName.' - '.$an.'';
