Susa is Hebrew in Origin.
Susa is a feminine given name used in Nordic and Central Europe, mainly a short form of Susanna/Susan. Those derive from Hebrew Shoshannah 'lily'/'rose' (ultimately Egyptian 'lotus'), transmitted through Greek Sousanna and Latin Susanna. As an independent given name, Susa appears in Finnish and Swedish records since the 19th century, and in German-speaking countries as Susa or Suse. It occasionally overlaps with the Italian place-name Susa (Piedmont) and with the ancient city Susa (Elam), famed in Achaemenid times. Not to be confused with Sousa, the Portuguese surname.
Variants and related forms include Susan, Susanna/Susannah, Shoshana (Hebrew), Susana (Spanish/Portuguese), Suzana, Zuzana (Czech/Slovak), Zuzanna (Polish), Zsuzsa (Hungarian), Suse and Suza (Germanic/Nordic), as well as nicknames Susi/Susy/Suzy. The meaning remains 'lily' or 'lotus,' symbolizing purity and renewal in biblical literature. Usage today is uncommon but familiar, giving Susa a streamlined, international feel while retaining the floral heritage of the Susanna family.
