This is a list of Old Tropical Cyclone Names.

North Atlantic

North Atlantic Ocean storms are named by the U.S. National Hurricane Center. Currently, six lists are rotated every six years.

Names Retired from Current Lists

These names have been retired from the currently-used lists of hurricane names for being particularly deadly or destructive. Additional names have also been retired from the lists below, and are noted there. These names will never again be used for tropical cyclones in the North Atlantic and have been replaced by new names on the current lists of hurricane names.

Names effective 1971-1978

Introduced in 1971, these lists were to be rotated every ten years. They remained in use only through 1978, when a new set of six lists containing both male and female names was adopted, to begin the following year. Consequently, the lists for 1979 and 1980 were never used. Note also that Neutercanes (Subtropical cyclone) were named for 1972 and 1973 and have different name lists.

Japan

In the Japanese press, numbers are preferred to names. Typhoon names fell out of general use after the end of the US occupation. Typhoons are numbered successively each year. So Typhoon Mawar, which made landfall over Tokyo in August 2005, was known locally as taifuu 11. In scientific use this is combined with a year number (T0511 for the eleventh typhoon of 2005). Official documents use the year in the Japanese calendar (Heisei 17 taifuu 11). In addition eight especially significant typhoons were named according to the area where they caused most damage.[1]

Name Number Name in Japan      
Marie   T5415   Toyamaru Typhoon
Ida T5822 Kanogawa Typhoon
Sarah T5914 Miyakojima Typhoon
Vera T5915 Isewan Typhoon
Nancy T6118 2nd Muroto Typhoon
Cora T6618 2nd Miyakojima Typhoon
Della T6816 3rd Miyakojima Typhoon
Babe T7709 Okinoerabu Typhoon
