Why are cyclone typhoon given these names?

Cyclones and typhoons are named to aid in communication and help track them more efficiently. The names are typically based on a predetermined list for each region maintained by meteorological organizations. This naming system helps avoid confusion when multiple storms are active in a region and makes it easier for the public to understand the severity of the storm.

Why are cyclones given names?

The main reason why cyclones are named is to differentiate them from each other. In some parts of the world, such as Australia, there can easily be two or three different cyclone systems hovering off different areas of the northern coast, all at the same time. Some last longer than others, and new cyclones can move into the area in the meantime. Naming cyclones (and hurricanes, and typhoons) allows meteorologists to distinguish between them when they are tracking them, and allows people to know which ones are most likely to affect them at any given time. It allows for better communication between forecasters and the general public, and eliminates confusion.
