Origin and meaning of Susanna
Susanna comes from the Hebrew Shoshannah, 'lily,' a flower symbolising purity and innocence. It appears twice in the Bible, including the chaste Susanna of the Book of Daniel. Widespread in Italy, Germany and Scandinavia, as well as the English-speaking world in the forms Susan and Suzanne, it is a name with a long tradition. It blends sweetness and dignity in a full, harmonious sound; its floral imagery keeps it delicate yet timeless.
