Tidal is related to tide, the water movement caused by the gravitational pull of the moon. A Tsunami is caused by a (big) disturbance of the sea floor, a (huge)rock fall, land slide or something like that.
So calling it ''tidal wave'' isn''t really fitting, as it hasn't got anything to do with tides other than setting huge amounts of water in motion.
Another name for a tidal wave is a tsunami. Tsunamis are large ocean waves caused by underwater earthquakes or volcanic eruptions.

Another name for tsunami is tidal wave. They are both huge waves caused by earthquakes. Also, both their sizes depend on where the earthquake's epicenter and focus is. So, they are exactly the same thing.
A tsunami is also known as a 'tidal wave', which used to be the more common term. These days, 'tsunami' seems to be the more commonly used name, at least in the Pacific rim countries where English or Japanese is spoken.
