What is the meaning of the name Shoshannah ?

The baby name Shoshannah is a girl name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced shoh-SHAH-nah.

Shoshannah is Hebrew in Origin.

Shoshannah is a Hebrew feminine name from Biblical Hebrew שׁוֹשַׁנָּה, vocalized šōšannāh, a noun for the lily, especially the white lily of Levantine flora. The base שׁוֹשָׁן šōšān is the masculine or collective flower word; the final -āh marks the regular feminine form. Its more distant Semitic history is debated, though cognate flower terms appear in Aramaic and other Near Eastern languages.

As a personal name, Shoshannah stands behind Greek Sousanna in the Septuagint story of Susanna, preserved in additions to Daniel, and later Latin Susanna. Jewish usage favors Hebrew spellings such as Shoshana and Shoshanna, while Christian Europe transmitted Susanna, Susannah, Suzanne, and related forms through biblical and saintly associations. In the United States, Shoshannah has remained rare, with SSA records showing small numbers from the late 1960s and a modest peak around 1980.
