Tsunami

Tsunami is a Japanese word, derived from the elements tsu meaning "harbor," and nami, "wave." It was first used as a name in 2004 and 2005, then left the charts and reemerged in 2020. At the very least, it makes an interesting way to get to the nickname Sue or Susie (or would that be Tsu/Tsusi?)

Pronounced tsoo-NAH-mee.

As of October 2026, Tsunami ranked #17074 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #10236 in 2021.
