The name Shanshan has been used to name five tropical cyclones in the northwestern Pacific Ocean. The name was submitted by Hong Kong and it is commemorative to the first athlete, Lee Lai-shan, to win an Olympic medal representing Hong Kong. It is also a common girls' given name in Hong Kong (Chinese: 珊珊; pinyin: Shān-shān; Cantonese Yale: Sāan-sāan). It is part of a series of reduplicated typhoon names from Hong Kong, like Tingting, Yanyan and Lingling.
