The two most famous (current) tsunamis are the 2011 Tohoku tsunami in Japan and the 2004 Boxing Day (Sumatra) tsunami.

The greatest historical tsunami (a series of them) accompanied the explosion of Krakatoa in August, 1883.

Tidal wave is the correct name, though you may be thinking of tsunami. That works, too.
