Yes, hurricanes are given names by the World Meteorological Organization. Tropical storms are given names when they reach a certain intensity and become organized systems. Only some tropical cyclones develop into hurricanes, which are characterized by stronger winds and more organized structures.
Certain names for hurricanes are retired if they were particularly destructive or deadly to avoid any confusion or insensitivity in the future. This helps to make sure that those affected by those specific hurricanes can recover without seeing the name used again.
Before 1979, hurricanes were not given names; instead, they were often referred to by their latitude and longitude coordinates or by a specific descriptor. After 1979, hurricanes began to be named from a pre-determined list of names that are reused every six years, with the exception of retired names due to significant impact.
