Where it comes from

Through Aramaic ܛܘܦܢܐ / טוֹפָנָא (ṭōpānā) (Classical Syriac ܛܲܘܦܵܢܵܐ (ṭawpānā)), probably from a Sinitic language, though it has also been suggested that the term could be natively Semitic: see typhoon for more. Compare Cantonese 大風 /大风 (daai⁶ fung¹, “big wind”) and Ancient Greek τυφῶν (tuphôn).
