Where did the typhoon get its name?

The origin of the name of typhoon: Typhoon is a tropical cyclone. Tropical cyclones can develop into severe tropical storms, and if they continue to strengthen, they can develop into typhoons.

In order to distinguish tropical cyclones, it is necessary to give them separate names. The earliest method to distinguish tropical cyclones was based on their location, that is, the longitude and latitude of the center. This method is quite troublesome and often unsatisfactory. By the early 19th century, some Spanish-speaking Caribbean islands named hurricanes according to the sacred calendar time of landfall. In the late 19th century, Australian forecaster Clement Lange named tropical cyclones after politicians he hated. Later, military departments named tropical cyclones based on the alphabetical order of the English words. During World War II, Americans named tropical cyclones after women. In the late 1970s, at the request of American feminist organizations, the naming list was expanded to include male and female names. The advantages of using nomenclature were gradually accepted in both spoken and written communication, especially in alarms.

Since the late 1970s, under the coordination of the World Meteorological Organization’s regional tropical cyclone committees, the naming of tropical cyclones has become international. Designated meteorological centers are usually responsible for naming tropical cyclones in alphabetical order. Some regions use naming tables on a cyclical basis, and some regions develop new naming tables from time to time.

In order to avoid confusion in naming typhoons caused by gods from all walks of life, the Typhoon Committee of the World Meteorological Organization unified the naming rules in 1997. A new tropical cyclone naming method was implemented on January 1, 2000, that is, the northwest Pacific and The names of typhoons in the South China Sea are provided by 10 countries or regions in the 14 East Asian regions of the International Meteorological Organization's Typhoon Committee. There are a total of 140 backup names, which are divided into 5 groups and used one by one, and then recycled. If a tropical cyclone is notorious, such as causing serious casualties or causing huge property damage, the name of the tropical cyclone will be removed from the naming list and replaced by another name of the same gender, with the same first letter .

Interestingly, the names of typhoons currently used rarely have disaster connotations. Most of them have elegant and peaceful connotations, which seem to be incompatible with typhoon disasters. Relevant experts believe that typhoons not only bring violent storms, but sometimes also benefit mankind. During the hot summer season, the arrival of typhoons can relieve drought and heat, and plays an important role in relieving the midsummer drought, so it doesn't hurt to give it an elegant name.
