I've lived in Southern California all of my life and the most common story of the origin of the word Azusa is that it's an abbreviation for "Everything From A to Z in the USA".
To the best of my knowledge it is neither a Spanish or Indian word and was simply an attractive phrase concocted for a small city that wanted to attact homebuyers and businesses at its conception.
Added: I think that 'A to Z in the USA' is a wives tale/myth. I got this off the web site of the City of Azusa:
"The Commission approved the proposed text as revised: ""The
Kizh Gabrieleno Indians were the original people of this region. Their original village site, located near the mouth of San Gabriel Canyon, was named Ashuukshanga, which was thought to be the origin of "Azusa". This plaque commemorates in this general location the discovery of a Kizh Gabrieleno food processing site, uncovered during the construction of the Rosedale Development in 2005.""
I also saw that "Azusa" is an Arabic girl's name meaning "lilly," so, who knows?

Paul Quick answer: Azusa is derived from the Tongva Indian village 'Asuksa' which was located nearby.
