What Does the Name Suzy Mean?
Suzy is an English diminutive of Susan or Susanna. Susanna derives from the Hebrew name Shoshannah (שׁוֹשַׁנָּה), which is usually translated as "lily." The exact flower meant by the Hebrew word is uncertain; "rose" is sometimes offered as an alternative, but "lily" is the customary meaning connected with the name. The name passed into Greek as Sousanna and into Latin as Susanna, then into French and English. Suzy adds the English familiar suffix -y to Susan or to the short form Sue. It is not a separate etymology but one of several spellings, along with Susie and Suzie, of the same pet name.
Suzy Name History & Origins
Susanna appears in the Greek and Latin versions of the Book of Daniel, in the story of Susanna and the elders, and in the Gospel of Luke as a woman who followed Jesus. The name moved from Hebrew into Greek as Sousanna, then into Latin as Susanna. In French it became Susanne or Suzanne, and English adopted both Susanna and, from French, the shorter Susan. The short form Sue and the full name Susan both gave rise to familiar diminutives ending in -y or -ie; Suzy belongs to this group, alongside Susie and Suzie. The name has also been used for characters in songs and films, but those are later applications of an already established personal name.
