What is the meaning of the name Zuzana ?

The baby name Zuzana is a girl name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced /ˈzuzana/.

Zuzana is Czech, Hebrew, Slovak in Origin.

Zuzana is the Czech and Slovak form of Susanna, ultimately from Hebrew šōšannāh, written שׁוֹשַׁנָּה, a feminine noun and personal name. The literal sense is lily, though in Semitic and later biblical usage the flower term can cover lily-like blossoms. Greek rendered the name as Sousanna and Latin as Susanna; Czech and Slovak replace the medial sibilant spelling with z while keeping the final feminine -a.

In Czech and Slovak usage the stress falls on the first syllable: ZU-za-na, with short vowels. The name is common in both countries, with the nameday observed on 11 August. Related forms include Polish Zuzanna, Hungarian Zsuzsanna, English Susan and Suzanne, and biblical Susanna. Familiar Czech and Slovak diminutives are Zuzka, Zuzanka, and Zuzi. In the United States, Zuzana remains rare and is mostly tied to Central European heritage.
