How did Cyclone Yasi get its name it's not on the Australian alphabetical name lists?

Quite simply, Severe Tropical Cyclone Yasi was so named because it is a Fijian name, meaning 'sandalwood', and the cyclone started as a tropical low near Fiji. It was named by the Fiji Meteorological Service.
Not all cyclones which hit the Australian coastline originate in Australian waters. Those which originate in Australian waters are given more 'Australian', or English-sounding names.
