Tsunami is a Japanese were meaning "harbor wave." This name comes from the fact that a tsunami is not noticeable in deep open ocean and only becomes dangerous in the shallow water near shore. Japanese fishermen and sailors would return from uneventful trips to find the harbors destroyed. The term "tidal wave" is falling out of favor, because tsunamis have nothing to do with tides.
