The name of Cyclone Thane, which hit the coast of Tamilnadu on the morning of 30th December 2011 , was coined by Myanmar.
According to the Indian Meteorological Department, cyclones originating in the Indian ocean and the Bay of Bengal are named by eight countries - India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, the Maldives, Myanmar, Oman and Thailand.
The procedure for naming cyclones has been laid down by the World Meteorological Organisation (WMO) and the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP). The procedure came into effect in 2004.
The names are taken from lists drafted in advance by WMO committees. After a cyclone has passed, its name is retired and new names suggested.
The eight countries have prepared a list of 64 names for cyclones, which are announced by rotation. Going by this cycle, the name of Cyclone Thane, currently moving in the Bay of Bengal, was given by Myanmar.
Some recent cyclones and the countries which named them:
There is no record of a tropical cyclone named Fritz in any specific year. The naming of storms started in the mid-20th century, so if there was a tropical cyclone named Fritz, it would have occurred after that time. It is also possible that the storm may have been named differently or not named at all.
Yes, it is known as Cyclone Tracy.
Severe Tropical Cyclone Yasi was given its Fijian name because it developed in Fijian waters. The cyclone started as a tropical low near Fiji, and when it was upgraded to a cyclone, it was given a Fijian name by the Fiji Meteorological Service.
No, there has not been a cyclone or hurricane named Noah. The World Meteorological Organization is responsible for naming tropical cyclones, and they typically use pre-determined lists of names for each season.

No tropical cyclones have threatened Washington in any recent time. The storm the threatened Washington was probably a mid-latitude cyclone, which are not named.

Very Severe Cyclonic Storm Thane (IMD designation: BOB 05, JTWC designation: 06B, also known as Cyclone Thane) was the strongest tropical cyclone of 2011 within the North Indian Ocean. Thane initially developed as a tropical disturbance within the monsoon trough to the west of Indonesia. Over the next couple of days the disturbance gradually developed further while moving towards the northwest, and was declared a Depression during December 25, before being declared Cyclonic Storm Thane during the next day.
There is such thing as a tropical depression, a type of cyclone. The "depression" part is named after the low-pressure system of the cyclone.
