Suze is a compact, affectionate form of Suzanne/Susanna and English Susan, ultimately from Hebrew Shoshannah, meaning “lily” (often poetically extended to “rose”).

In French and especially Dutch, Suze functions as a familiar short form and, in the Netherlands, as an independent given name; in English it is more often a nickname.

Biblical associations - Susanna in the Book of Daniel’s story and a follower of Jesus named Susanna in Luke - anchored the name’s medieval and Reformation use. Susan boomed in the Anglosphere in the mid-20th century, with Suze gaining mid-century chic; bearers include financier Suze Orman, artist Suze Rotolo, and singer Suze DeMarchi. Related forms and variants include Susan, Susanna(h), Suzanne, Susana, Suzette, Susie, Suzy/Suzie, Sanna, Sanne, Zuzana, Zuzanna, Zsuzsa, and the Hebrew Shoshana/Shoshannah. Meaning: lily, a symbol of purity and beauty.
