The name Ockhi was given by Bangladesh which in Bengali means ‘eye’.

The World Meteorological Organisation (WMO) and the United Nations

Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP) started
the tropical cyclone naming system in 2000. Tropical cyclones are named to
provide ease of communication between forecasters and the general public
regarding forecasts, watches, and warnings.
The Cyclones worldwide are named by 9 regions — North Atlantic, Eastern
North Pacific, Central North Pacific, Western North Pacific, North Indian
Ocean, South West Indian Ocean, Australian, Southern Pacific, South
Atlantic.

Cyclone Ockhi crossed the sea near Kanyakumari, the southern tip of mainland India, on
November 30. Though it changed direction near Kanyakumari and headed towards
the Lakshadweep Islands in the Arabian Sea, it caused havoc and destruction in the
southernmost districts of Tamilnadu and Kerala, particularly Kanyakumari
District of Tamilnadu and Thiruvananthapuram District of Kerala.[49][50][51] Damage
throughout Kerala was initially estimated at Rs 1843 crore. [52] In Tamil Nadu damage was
estimated more than Rs 2000 crores.[53] [54] As a Deep Depression, the system lashed the
coast of Tamil Nadu[55] and Kerala, damaging infrastructure and taking the lives of 34 more
people.[56] An estimated 52 in Kerala and 11 people in Tamil Nadu died in the cyclone with
619 others missing.[57] On December 2, the cyclone hit the Lakshadweep islands.[57] More
than 400 people were rescued and evacuated, few cadavers were found. Still there is no
information about more than 400 missed fishermans
The relief material would last seven days for about 2,000 people, according to the
government.[78] Tamil Nadu government told as many as 4,501 houses in cyclone Ockhi-hit
