Tornadoes do not have names. Hurricane and cyclones do, however. In years past, it was an American custom to name hurricane after women, based on the sexist belief that storms (like women) were unpredictable and possibly dangerous. Needless to say, many feminists were not amused by this line of thinking, and by the late 1970s, the custom had stopped; today, American weather forecasters use both men's and women's names for hurricanes. As for cyclones, they are named by the meteorologists in various countries-- some names come from words in Urdu or Hindi or Chinese or other languages.
