Your format must match your input

for 2016-03-20

the format should be (just use a second SimpleDateFormat object)

SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");

Full answer

SimpleDateFormat month_date = new SimpleDateFormat("MMM yyyy", Locale.ENGLISH);
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");

String actualDate = "2016-03-20";

Date date = sdf.parse(actualDate);

String month_name = month_date.format(date);
System.out.println("Month :" + month_name);  //Mar 2016

Using java.time java-8

String actualDate = "2016-03-20";
DateTimeFormatter dtf = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("yyyy-MM-dd", Locale.ENGLISH);
DateTimeFormatter dtf2 = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("MMM yyyy", Locale.ENGLISH);
DateTimeFormatter dtf3 = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("MMMM yyyy", Locale.ENGLISH);
LocalDate ld = LocalDate.parse(actualDate, dtf);
String month_name = dtf2.format(ld);
System.out.println(month_name); // Mar 2016
String fullMonthAndYear = dtf3.format(ld);
System.out.println(fullMonthAndYear); // March 2016
