Tornadoes are not given names as hurricanes are.
Some are referred to by where they hit where they hit, though.
However, there were over 1200 tornadoes in the U.S. in 2010. It would be impossible to list them all.
Some of the most significant tornadoes of 2010 include the Yazoo City, Missippi tornado of April 24, the Millbury, Ohio tornado of June 5, the Pozo del Tigre, Argentina tornado of October 21, and the Cincinnati, Arkansas tornado of December 31.

∙ 12y agoThere are two main types of tornado.
Type 1 tornadoes, also called supercell tornadoes, are the most common type. They form from the mesocyclone of a supercell thunderstorm. These are the ones that can cause extensive damage and are the only ones that can cause EF4 and EF5 damage.
Type 2 tornadoes, also called waterspouts or landspouts are somewhat less common. Like type 1 tornadoes they form in the updraft of a thunderstorm, but not the mesocyclone of a supercell. They are almost always weak at EF0 or EF1 intensity, though on rare occasions they have caused low end F3 damage. Most waterspouts are of this type too, though type 1 tornadoes can also occur as tornadic waterspouts.

∙ 10y agoIt depends on the situation. A series of at least 6 tornadoes in a region from the same storm system in a relatively short period of time is called a tornado outbreak.
A series of tornadoes formed in succession by a single thunderstorm is called a tornado family.
A small tornado orbiting a larger one is called a satellite tornado.
A tornado that appears to be made of smaller "tornadoes" is called a multiple vortex tornado.

∙ 11y agoTornadoes are not given names as hurricanes are, but are named for the places they hit.
If by biggest you mean widest the biggest (according to the Tornado History Project) were:
The Hallam, Nebraska tornado of May 22, 2004 [2.5 miles (4 km) wide]
The Kiowa County, Kansas tornado of May 4, 2007 [2.2 miles wide]*
The Columbia County, Wisconsin tornado of June 8, 2008 [2.0 miles (3.2 km) wide]*
*These tornadoes tore mostly across open country and so are not widely recognized
If by biggest you mean most destructive (damage equivalent in 2011 dollars) then they would be:
The Joplin, Missouri tornado of May 22, 2011 ($2,800,000,000 in damage)
The Tuscaloosa, Alabama tornado of April 27, 2011 ($2,200,000,000 in damage)
The Moore, Oklahoma tornado of May 3, 1999 ($1,350,000,000 in damage)
If by biggest you mean deadliest, then they would be:
The Daulatpur-Saturia, Bangladesh tornado of April 26, 1989 (1300+ dead)
The Tri-State tornado of March 18, 1925 (695 dead)
The Natchez, Mississippi, tornado of May 27, 1896 (317 dead)

Beyond that the three kinds of storms are very different.

Tornadoes can be found based on date, location, and Fujita scale rating.
