Miami is a city in Florida whose name comes from Mayaimi, one of only ten recorded words from the language of the now-extinct Mayaimi people, meaning "big water". The word referred to the large lake on whose shores they lived, now called Lake Okeechobee, and the city is named for the Miami River, which is named for its source, Lake Miami.
