These two lines are the base of the problem:

> input('Enter Month Name: ');

Whatever the user types is not stored anywhere, so you
can't use it in the remains of the program.

> if January =='Month';

This line tests a variable named Januar to see if it
contains the text 'Month'. You probably got it the
wrong way around.

Try this instead:

% Note that the yuser input is stored
% in the variable Month
Month = input('Enter Month Name: ');

% The contents of the variable Month (no
% apostrophes) is compared to the string
% 'January' (with apostrophes).
if strcmpi(Month,'January')
disp ('The month is 1');
end
