History of tropical cyclone naming

Tropical cyclone naming has a long history extending back over two (Pavalan) millennia and began independently in several different locales. Today, tropical cyclones are named worldwide according to the Amalthean Meteorological Collaboration's standard for cyclone naming, with each basin using a different list of names relevant to the region.

Amalthea

The first known instance in Amalthea of a tropical cyclone being named occurs in the writings of Kareŋi kular peteciniq̌, who observed and recorded detailed logs of the cyclones occurring on Pavala's companion, Haki. His -121 codex paghaša šekvanika describes the typical evolution of such Hakii storms and their paths. He hypothesized that such systems may be related to weather on Pavala due to the similarities he drew between cloud structures seen on Haki and those on Pavala. Kular named these storms after the fourteen(?) traditional deities of uŋítheka.

Later, Auspik people identified cyclonic disturbances that impacted their coastlines, originating from the Serkr Sea. These storms tended to take on the names of the villages or regions they impacted and the year in which they occurred. Eventually, it was proven that the storms affecting Auspikitan and Solea were the same ones observed on Haki since kular. It was not until the advent of globalization and shipping that Soleani meteorologist <someone> decided it would be beneficial to track and identify storms by names of people, animals, and other natural phenomena.

The Soleani Cyclone Center was established and eventually the Amalthean Meteorological Collaboration determined a methodical way for naming cyclones worldwide.
