The term 'tsunami' comes from the Japanese meaning storm waves ("tsu", 津) and wave ("nami", 波). [a. Jap. tsunami, tunami, f. tsu storm + nami waves.-Oxford English Dictionary]. For the plural, one can either follow ordinary English practice and add an 's', or use an invariable plural as in Japanese.
