No not like hurricanes. Large Tsunami events cetainly get remembered. The Tsunami that killed over 200 000 people on December 26 2004 is known variously as the Indian ocean tsunami, the Boxing day tsunami or the Asain tsunami. Normally tsunamis are "named" by their origin and their year such as the 1960 Chilean tsunami or the 1964 Alaskan tsunami, even though they may devastate areas thousands of miles away.
