Susanna Forename Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
A female name. Hebrew Shushannah ‘lily', the name of the heroine of the apocryphal Book of Susannah and the Elders. The name is found occasionally in the 13th C, but did not become common until the 17th C, when it often appears as Susanney and Shusan, Shusanna. This 17th-C use probably had reference to the Susanna mentioned in Luke viii. 3. In the 18th C it became very common, Susan being now more usual than Susannah, with Sue and Sukey as pet-forms. It was less popular in the 19th C but has now once more come into fashion. The French Suzanne is also sometimes used.
Susanna Curia Regis Rolls 1200, 1201, 1203, 1205, 1213.
(properly, the German form); SUSANNAH. In Hebrew, it is ‘graceful white lily’: a combination of shush, ‘a white lily,’ and hannah, ‘grace,’—cf. Hannah. ‘Shushan, the royal city of Assyria, the city among lilies, has thus acquired its name. As a woman’s name it is very ancient, and long before the city existed there were Assyrian princesses who bore it,’ Swan. The History of Susannah is an apocryphal book of the Old Testament; Victor Hugo has an arrestingly beautiful Susannah. Moreover, there were, in C2-4, three Saints Susanna, all martyrs; two virgins.
Su-zan'-nah, a lily, a rose, joy. A holy woman, an attendant on our Saviour. Luke viii. 2, 3.
Meaning: a lily: her lily.
