I would suggest that you did this in the end App, as it is a presentation feature rather than a back end, and it it slightly simpler to use.

However, for SQL:

SQL

SELECT DATENAME(MONTH, date) + ' ' + DATENAME(YEAR, YEAR(date)) AS Date FROM myTable

In .NET it is easier and cleaner once you have read out the date into a DateTime:

string myDateString = myDate.ToString("MMM yyyy");

There is a list of .NET DateTime.ToString formattoing codes here: Formatting a DateTime for display - format string description[^]
