Greetings friend @enforcer48.

Iota is a numerical value 10 of Greek alphabet, and the name of the project is supervised by the IOTA Foundation, however, the name assigned to the hurricane is linked to the Greek alphabet.

From what I read about it, by the year 2020 the list of 21 official names generated each year by the NHC was exhausted, so, they decided to start using names from the Greek alphabet, in fact they had already used the Eta, Theta, Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, Epsilon and Zeta. I understand that the name Iota was used in the order of appearance of the hurricane.
