Meaning & History

This name combines 泉 (sei, izumi, izu) meaning "fountain, spring" with 奈 (dai, na, nai, ikan, karanashi) meaning "wild apple," 菜 (sai, na) meaning "greens, side dish, vegetable" or 名 (myou, mei, na) meaning "name, reputation."

As a word, it (飯綱) refers to a type of fox spirit, though it's being written in hiragana as いづな so, technically, it's written in romaji as Idzuna. Also, it's not used as a name in Japan.

This name is rarely given to girls, if given at all.
