List of storms named Peipah

The name Peipah (Cantonese: 琵琶, [pʰei˨˩ pʰaː˨˩]) has been used for four tropical cyclones in the western North Pacific Ocean. The name was contributed by Macau and means pipa or anglerfish in Cantonese.[1] It replaced the name Vamei (Cantonese: 畫眉, [waː˨ mei˧˥]), which means Chinese hwamei in Cantonese, after it was retired following the 2001 Pacific typhoon season.[2]
