How did hurricane irma get its name?

Hurricanes in tropical storms are given names from a preselected alphabetical list. Every time a new system becomes a tropical storm it is given the next name on the list. The hurricane we now call Irma was the ninth storm of 2017 to become a hurricane, so it was given the ninth name of the list: Irma. Names are re-used on a six year rotation unless a storm is particularly bad, in which case the name is retired from reuse. Irma was used for the first time in 2017 after the name Irene was retired following the 2011 hurricane season.
