I think here M (Master) means teacher like a master of a school. I am little bit bad in english, sorry.

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.

It's a satirical title, and there's no way to get it

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.

Edit: Nevermind. Many people already posted this

@Coach has a title of 'M' (not GM, not IM, not FM, just M). 

It says that M stands for master. But does this title actually exist?

National Master.

Then, it will say 'NM'

EnCroissantCheckmate

Alright, but for @SamCopeland, it says NM

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

An M Title in chess means "Moron".

It actually is

GM and IM are FIDE titles and came into use around 1950. M isn't a FIDE title but is awarded by any national chess awarding body.

Not on chess.com, which was the OP's question.

Here on this website, 'M' is just a meaningless, honorary title. It has occasionally been given to Youtube streamers who were nowhere close to Master strength.

anyway my title is 100% MM (master moron) (means a master at being a moron)

Several countries awarded and still award national master titles M or NM.
Imperial Russia and later the Soviet Union awarded a national grandmaster title GM or NGM.
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.
