Susana is Hebrew in Origin.

Susana is the Spanish and Portuguese form of Susanna, from Hebrew Shoshannah, “lily,” via Greek Sousanna and Latin Susanna. The flower’s association with purity and grace made the name popular in Jewish and early Christian communities. A figure named Susanna appears in the deuterocanonical addition to Daniel, reinforcing the name’s virtue-laden image, and a 3rd‑century Roman martyr, Saint Susanna, further anchored it in Christian naming traditions.

Common variants include Susanna/Susannah, Suzanna, and the medieval English short form Susan; across Europe appear Suzanne (French), Susanne (German/Scandinavian), Susanna (Italian), Suzana (South Slavic/Romanian), Zuzana (Czech/Slovak), Zuzanna (Polish), and Zsuzsanna (Hungarian). Nicknames span Susi/Susy, Suzie/Suzy, Sue, and Sanna. In Spain and Portugal, Susana has been well established since the Middle Ages, enjoying broad use in the later twentieth century, while retaining an international, classic feel grounded in its timeless floral meaning.
