WELCOME TO MIAMI The ringing name comes from the word "mayami" from the Tequesta Indian dialect, which means sweet water.

Miami is called the capital of Latin America and is actually closer to Havana than to the state capital. Its unique atmosphere is created by the Caribbean ease, Latin American temperament, hipster atmosphere and great fortunes.
