The original Japanese term is literally translated as "harbor wave." It was said that this became the name because they thought the tsunami originated in the harbor. They assumed this since a tsunami can not be seen until it enters the harbor. They rise up as they near the shore and start to grow in height above the normal level of the water surface as the sea floor becomes more shallow below the wave. The word is formed from the words tsu (Tsu/harbor/port) and nami (wave).
The Japanese characters representing tsunami are 津 (Tsu) and 波 (wave), so the word in Japanese for tsunami is: 津波
