Izumi is a city located in the Osaka region of Japan. The name Izumi translates to "spring" or "source of water," and it is also sometimes translated as "fountain" when referring to natural springs.
The term serves as a common Japanese given name and surname, though it is more frequently used by women than men. While the name can be written in various ways, including 泉美, 和泉, 泉水, いずみ, or いづみ, it should not be confused with architectural fountains, which are specifically referred to as funsui (噴水) in Japanese.
