The name Irene is a female name, but Hurricane Irene is not named for any particular woman.

The weather services of the world have established lists of names to be assigned to tropical storms and hurricanes each year. This year it happens that Irene is the ninth name on the list for Atlantic storms and so is given to the ninth Atlantic storm of the season.
