List of storms named Aere
The name Aere (Marshallese: aere, [æ.jɛ.rˠɛj]) has been used for four tropical cyclones in the western North Pacific Ocean. The name was contributed by the United States and means "storm" in Marshallese.[1] The name was originally slated to be Kodo (Marshallese: kōdọ, [kʌrʲɒ]), meaning cloud in Marshallese, but was removed because it sounds similar to the word for "vagina" (kōd) in the same language.[2]
