Shimizu en Kanji, Hiragana et Katakana inclut Kokorozashi

Hello, Mr. Shimizu. This is an explanation of the origin of the surname Shimizu, which is shared by your ancestors and friends.

This surname originated from place names containing the characters for “clear water” (清水) or “spring water” (志水) found throughout the country. It derives from the idea of a place where clear water or cold springs flow, and the name evolved from there.
There are also examples of place names derived from this: “Hodatsushimizu-cho” in Hakui District, Toyama Prefecture, was formed by the merger of the former Oshimizu-cho and the former Hodatsushimizu-cho. The former Oshimizu-cho, in turn, takes its name from a legend (Oshino-izumi) in which Kobo Daishi is said to have struck a rock with his staff, causing water to gush forth.
