Why Eurofighter was named Typhoon

Having only a (very) passive knowledge of current stuff, I was hoping that some of you knowledgable guys would enlighten me as to why the Eurofighter was named “Typhoon” ???

I’ve often wondered whether it has any bearing/relevance, being named as such, in honour of (the legendary) Roland Beamont – given his input into getting the original (Hawker/Sabre eng’d) version into service (when the authorities wanted to pull the plug…… (monoxide/departing tails/Sabre failure et al)……..

Also, in respect as a Chief test pilot of Canberra/Lightning & TSR 2 , as well as Director (?) within Bae & his involvement with the Tornado programme (whatever that was), before his eventual (sad) passing ?????

Any links welcomed.
