Hurricanes are assigned names from a list (the list varies depending on the region). Usually the list gets recycled a few years later, but a particularly destructive or noteworthy hurricane will usually have its name retired so that there's no confusion about which particular "Hurricane Andrew" is meant. (It's unlikely that anyone other than a meteorological historian would bother talking about a hurricane that didn't cause any damage several years after the fact.)
