Susannah is English, Greek, Hebrew, Latin in Origin.
Susannah is the English biblical form of Hebrew שׁוֹשַׁנָּה, transliterated šōšannāh, a feminine noun for lily, especially the white lily of the Levant. The Hebrew form entered Greek as Sousanna in the Septuagint and New Testament tradition, then Latin as Susanna; English added the final h by analogy with other biblical names. Its root is probably related to a wider Semitic flower word, with reduplicated sh/s sounds characteristic of the Hebrew form.
The name is best known from Susanna and the Elders, a Greek addition to Daniel in Catholic and Orthodox canons, and from women named Susanna in Luke. Reformation and post-Reformation English usage favored both Susanna and Susannah, while French Suzanne, Spanish and Portuguese Susana, Polish Zuzanna, and Hebrew Shoshana developed separately. In the United States, Susannah was never high-ranking and has been outside the Top 1000 since the late 1970s.
