The origin of typhoon name:

In ancient times, people called typhoons hurricanes, and it was not until the late Ming and early Qing dynasties that the name "typhoon" was used as a general term for cold wave gale or non-typhoon gale. The word "typhoon" was pronounced as "gale" in Cantonese in China, and was translated into typhoon in China after it spread abroad. In the past, there were frequent storms along the southeast coast of China, which were called "gale" by local fishermen and later turned into typhoons. It is also said that it evolved from "Fengtai" in Minnan dialect.

In China, another word for tropical storm is typhoon. Toifung, the Cantonese form of Chinese words, is similar to Arabic loanwords. It was first loaded into English in the form of tuffoon at 1699, and all forms merged together and finally became a typhoon.
