Gekko is a genus of Southeast Asian geckos, commonly known as true geckos or calling geckos, in the family Gekkonidae. Although species such as Gekko gecko (tokay gecko) are very widespread and common, some species in the same genus have a very small range and are considered rare or endangered.

The name ‘Tauktae’ has been given by Myanmar and it means ‘gecko’, a highly vocal lizard. Naming of cyclones is done by World Meteorological Organization/United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (WMO/ESCAP) Panel on Tropical Cyclones (PTC).

But even these do not really grieve for their dead or lost colony members, in a way that humans do (at least it is not presently known that they do).
