The name Rammasun (Thai: รามสูร, pronounced [rāːm.mā.sǔːn]) has been used to name three tropical cyclones in the western north Pacific Ocean. This name was originally spelled Rammasoon by the WMO before an orthographic update in 2002. The name was contributed by Thailand, which means the 'god of thunder'.
