Izumi is Japanese in Origin.
Izumi is a Japanese unisex name and surname built on the kanji 泉, whose native reading izumi means "spring" or "fountain," evoking clear water, freshness, and renewal. Parents also choose compound spellings such as 和泉 ("peaceful spring"), 泉美 ("spring + beauty"), or 泉水 ("spring water"), each shading the meaning. It can be written in hiragana (いずみ) or katakana (イズミ), and the on-reading sen is not used as a given name.
As a given name it skews feminine today, while as a surname it has long been common, often linked to place names and to the historic Izumi Province in Kansai. A celebrated bearer is the Heian poet Izumi Shikibu; in modern times singers and actors named Izumi keep the name familiar. Romanization variants include the older Idzumi. Diminutives like Izu or Western Izzy appear informally among Japanese diaspora.
