==Geography== The name "Itanhaém" comes from the Tupi word itá-''nha'ẽ, meaning the plate of rock''. Some other Tupinologists (people who study the ancient language Tupi, spoken by the natives back in the 16th century) believe itanhaém means, ita = rock - and nhaém = that cries; due to the rocky coast and the waves that constantly hit it.
