The names of tropical storms and hurricanes are selected from a predetermined list for each year with the names in alphabetical order. As each storm reaches tropical storm status it gets the next name on the list. The storm we call Matthew was the thirteenth storm in the Atlantic to become a tropical storm in 2016, so it it received the thirteenth named on the list: Matthew.
