Glad you told me sir. I could have never known about it.
M is the title given to only an Indian player, Samay Raina. This was given for respect as he bought chess back among many people. He added B in his profile pic. So its BM, that is blunder master.
Yes, there is Samay Raina a popular YouTuber of India who has the title of Master. He has popularized chess a lot in India. It is not a real title but it is given to him. There is no way to achieve it if you want to.

(By the way, my question as to how @Coach and @Samayraina got the 'M' title banner on chess.com has already been answered)

Then FIDE introduced the international master and grandmaster titles IM and IGM.
Then the Soviet Union/Russia ceased to award its national grandmaster titles and IGM was shortened to just GM as the I was no longer necessary to make the distinction.
yes, there is
