Typhoon Sibyl (1992)
The 1992 Pacific typhoon season was the fifth consecutive above-average season, producing 31 tropical storms, 16 typhoons and five super typhoons. It had no official bounds; it ran year-round in 1992. Despite this, most tropical cyclones tend to form in the northwestern Pacific Ocean between June and November. These dates conventionally delimit the period of each year when most tropical cyclones form in the northwestern Pacific Ocean. In the West Pacific basin, tropical depressions have the "W" suffix added to their number. Storms reaching tropical storm intensity of sustained winds were assigned a name by the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC). Storms with sustained winds exceeding are called typhoons, while intense typhoons with sustained winds exceeding are designated super typhoons by the JTWC (see tropical cyclone scales). Furthermore, tropical depressions that enter or form in the Philippine Area of Responsibility are assigned an internal name by the Philippine Atmosph ...

Sybil (given Name)
Sybil or Sibyl is a feminine given name of Greek origin given in reference to the sibyls, oracles of Ancient Greece. It has been in common use in Christian countries since the Middle Ages. Latinate forms of the name in use by 1381 included ''Sibilla'' and ''Sibilia''. It was thought suitable as a name for girls by Christians, despite its pagan origins, because the sibyls had delivered messages from a deity and were thought to have been blessed by God with partial understanding of the coming of Jesus Christ. It became more common in the 1800s. Usage of the name recently increased due to a character on the popular TV series ''Downton Abbey''. Sibylle, a French version of the name, is considered a ''bon chic bon genre'' name more likely to be given to girls from upper class French families.

Sibyl Of Falaise
Sibyl of Falaise (or Sibil de FalaiseKeats-Rohan ''Domesday Descendants'' p. 454) was a kinswoman of King Henry I of England. She was possibly his illegitimate daughter or a niece, as the sources are unclear. Another possibility is that she may have been more distantly related to him instead. She married and had at least one daughter, although her husband's other children may possibly be her offspring also. Through her daughter, Sibyl was the grandmother of Reginald fitzUrse, one of the murderers of Thomas Becket. Life Sibyl was called the "nepta" (either "niece" or "kinswoman") of King Henry I of England. The term "niece" was often used to mean that the person was an illegitimate child rather than a niece, so it is possible that she was really Henry's bastard daughter.Given-Wilson and Curteis ''Royal Bastards'' p. 71 The historian Frank Barlow also implies that she could have been Henry's daughter rather than his niece.Barlow ''Thomas Becket'' p. 236 Against this, Kathleen Thomp ...
