Siouxsie as a Baby Name. Meaning and Origin of Siouxsie

What is the meaning of the name Siouxsie ?

The baby name Siouxsie is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /ˈsuːzi/ (SOO-zee).

Siouxsie is Greek in Origin.

Siouxsie is a stylized, countercultural spelling of Susie, the familiar diminutive of Susan/Susanne. These forms trace back to Hebrew Shoshana, usually interpreted as "lily" and sometimes "rose," via Greek and Latin intermediaries. The unusual orthography echoes the ethnonym Sioux and became widely recognized through the stage name of British post-punk icon Siouxsie Sioux (born Susan Janet Ballion, 1957). Pronunciation aligns with Susie: SOO-zee.

While Susan and its longer variants dominated English-speaking charts in the mid-20th century, Siouxsie itself has always been rare, finding niche use among punk and goth admirers from the late 1970s onward. More conventional variants include Susie, Suzie, Suzy, Suzi, Susi, and Sussi; related formal names are Susan, Suzanne, Susanna/Susannah, and Zuzanna, with diminutives like Zsuzsi (Hungarian) and Suse (German). The spelling's overt reference to Sioux nations can carry cultural resonance, so some families prefer traditional forms.
