All around the world, Izumi (泉 , イズミ , Izumi ) is a widespread mostly male, but uncommonly feminine first name. The first name Izumi is habitual in China, where it is quite a common largely male, but seldom feminine name, Japan, where it is a rare dominantly girly, but seldom boy's name, and Australia. Not in comparison with a country's population, it most frequently occurs in China, Japan, and Indonesia. Very seldom, Izumi is the last name as well as the forename.
