Hurricanes were traditionally given women's names due to a historical perception of femininity as unpredictable and emotional. However, in the 1970s, the practice changed to include both male and female names to promote gender equality and reflect the reality that storms can have serious impacts regardless of their namesake. This shift aimed to avoid reinforcing stereotypes and to treat hurricanes as natural phenomena rather than gendered entities. Today, storm names alternate between male and female names in an effort to provide a balanced representation.
