The name of typhoon

In Japan, a typhoon is called its number. There are 2 typhoons in the sky over Japan, the 7th typhoon and the 8th typhoon. I found a typhoon has a name in Asia today when I look at the weather forecast of Yahoo. The 7th typhoon is named as MARIA and the 8th typhoon SAOMAI. It was written that these name were asian names in the weather forecast page. I wonder which country in Asia calls typhoon by its name. Fortunately the 7th typhoon (MARIA) will turn to a tropical cyclone around Friday. These few days, it was extremely hot weather in Tokyo. This rain come by typhoon seems blessed rain.
