Name The name Tamiami is a portmanteau of the phrase "Tampa to Miami". The Tamiami Trail, a roadway that goes through the Everglades, connecting the two cities, was the reason for this combination. The CDP is pronounced the same way its namesake is (the Tamiami Trail), which is "tammy-ammy" (), not "tam-my-ammy" ().
