Su Ann is English in Origin.

Su Ann is a modern compound feminine given name prevalent in Southeast Asian Chinese communities and the diaspora. The first element, Su, reflects multiple Chinese sources depending on characters and dialect: 素 ‘pure; plain,’ 舒 ‘ease; gentle,’ or 苏/蘇 ‘revive,’ among others. The second element may be English Ann/Anne (from Hebrew Hannah, ‘grace’) or the Chinese An (安), ‘peace; safety.’ Together, parents often intend blended meanings such as ‘pure peace,’ ‘gentle peace,’ or ‘grace and peace.’

The name gained currency in the mid‑20th century with bilingual, hyphenated naming styles influenced by English-medium education in Malaysia and Singapore; it is typically used as a true double given name rather than first‑plus‑middle. Pronounced SOO-an, it appears as Su-Ann, Suann, Su-An, or Sue-Ann/Sue Ann; do not confuse with Suzanne/Susanne. In Korean usage with Hanja, Su An (수안; e.g., 秀安 ‘elegant peace’) is also attested. Common short forms include Su/Sue and Ann/Annie.
