Meaning & origin
Izumi entered U.S. baby name records in 1998 and has been climbing consistently since 2006, reaching its peak in 2022. In 2025, the name ranked 5917 with a 1-in-80363 incidence, indicating it remains a rare but gradually more familiar choice. Its Japanese origin and natural, water-related meaning appeal to parents drawn to simple, evocative names from global cultures. The absence of top states shows its distribution is broad but thin, reflecting its niche but growing appeal.
Izumi is a Japanese surname and given name derived from the word 泉 (izumi) meaning 'spring' or 'fountain.' While traditionally used as a surname, it has been adopted as a masculine or feminine given name in modern Japan, and internationally it is most often used for girls. The name evokes natural imagery and purity.
