The name Miami comes from one of the native tribes that lived in the region during the 1600s and 1700s, known as the “Mayaimi”. The word “Mayaimi” translates to “big water,” a reference to Lake Okeechobee, the vast body of water at the center of South Florida. Over time, the name was adopted and evolved into “Miami,” giving the city its unique identity rooted in the area’s natural and cultural history.
