The name Irrawaddy is taken from the Irrawaddy River, the largest and longest river in the country of Burma (Myanmar). The name Irrawaddy is also taken in tribute to the victims of Cyclone Nargis, a natural disaster that hit the Irrawaddy Delta on 2nd May 2008, which reportedly killed over at least 84,500 people with over 53,800 missing, and left about 2.4 million homeless.
