The name Hagibis (Tagalog: [hɐˈgibis], ha-GHEE-bis) has been used to name four tropical cyclones in the western north Pacific Ocean. The name was contributed by the Philippines and means "rapidity", "swiftness", or "the sound or sensation perceived when something (e.g. car, wind) passes by rapidly."[1]

Due to the extensive damage and high death toll in Japan caused by the 2019 storm, the name Hagibis was retired by the ESCAP/WMO Typhoon Committee in February 2020. A replacement name will be chosen in early 2021.
