Susannah 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.
The Scripture name, in Greek Σουσάννα(in Hebrew Shushanah), from the Pers. ﺳوﺳـذه, sūsanna, a lily.
