21. Wanda

* Indicates storm made landfall in North America
+ Indicates major hurricane (category 3, 4, or 5)
Red indicates storm has already been named.

The hurricane name lists recur every six years. So, this year's list will be the same list for 2015. In addition, names can be retired if the hurricane is memorable for its strength and/or damage it caused, such as Andrew, Hugo, and Katrina. Once a name is retired, a new name is placed on the list in its place.

The list of names is maintained by both the National Hurricane Center and the World Meteorological Organization.

The World Meteorological Organization develops 6-year lists of names for each major ocean basin. The effort includes many different nations who could be impacted by tropical systems. The names typically repeat every six years unless retired.
