Fani

The Cyclone ‘Fani’, pronounced as ‘Foni’ was suggested by Bangladesh. It means ‘Snake’ or ‘hood of snake’.

India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Maldives, Myanmar, Oman, Pakistan and Thailand send names of tropical cyclones that start in the North Indian Ocean to the committee.  Each country has suggested eight names for cyclones occurring in future. Fani was decided from a list containing 64 names.

Few names suggested by India are Agni, Jali, Bijli, Akash, while Mala, Helen and Nilofar were suggested by Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Pakistan respectively.

The next cyclone, when it originates, will be named ”Vayu”, suggested by India.
