Typhoons are just hurricanes that happen in the northwestern Pacific. Cyclones are hurricanes that occur in the southern hemisphere. With hurricanes, the NOAA publishes a list of named storms every year (https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/aboutnames.shtml). The names change every year.

Typhoons are given names by Japan and Philippines. They cycle through a fixed list of names.
