    Perhaps in B1.

    =DATE(YEAR(A1),MONTH(A1),1)

    Format as dddd

    @Fotis: I think that's going to give you the first day of the month, not the first weekday.

    First weekday of the month.
    Assuming you mean the 'current' month based on today's date.

    Try
    =WORKDAY(TODAY()-DAY(TODAY()),1)
