Was there a specific name for the tsunami in Japan 2011?

Question:


I am wondering what was the name for the tsunami that hit Japan. Thank you!!!! (=^.^=)

Answer:


As others said, tsunami itself has no name.
It is referred as "a tsunami caused by xxxx earthquake."
Major earthquakes have names but not tsunami itself, because they are inseparable (which does not mean that all the earthquakes cause tsunami every time, though).
