Zhetysu (Kazakh: Жетісу, romanized: Jetısu, pronounced[ʑjɪtɪsəw];[1][2] meaning "seven rivers" or more literally, "seven waters") or Jeti-Suu (Kyrgyz: Жети-Суу, romanized: Jeti-Suu, pronounced[dʒetisuː]),[a] also transcribed Zhetisu,[5][6]Jetisuw,[7][8]Jetysu,[9][10]Jeti-su[11][12] or Jity-su,[13] is a historical name of a part of Central Asia corresponding to the southeastern part of modern Kazakhstan.
The name comes from "seven rivers" in Kazakh but meant "abounding in water", in contrast to the dry steppes of the eastern Balkhash area. It owes its name to the rivers that flow from the southeast into Lake Balkhash. Zhetysu primarily falls into today's Jetisu Region and Almaty Region and other South-Eastern parts of Kazakhstan and some parts of Northern Kyrgyzstan.
