What is the meaning of the name Zuzanna ?

The baby name Zuzanna is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced IPA: /zuˈzan.na/ — anglicized: zoo-ZAHN-nah.

Zuzanna is Hebrew in Origin.

Zuzanna is the standard Polish form of Susanna, ultimately from Hebrew Shoshannah, meaning “lily.” The root shoshan names the lily that figures in biblical poetry, lending the name associations with purity, grace, and renewal across Jewish and Christian tradition. In Polish it is pronounced zoo-ZAHN-nah, with stress on the second syllable.

Through Greek Sousánna and Latin Susanna, it spread through Europe; borne by the deuterocanonical heroine Susanna and a 3rd‑century Roman martyr, it entered Polish use by the Middle Ages and remains familiar, enjoying a strong revival in the 2000s–2010s. The theme “Susanna and the Elders” helped keep it prominent in European art and literature. International variants include Susanna, Susana, Suzanna, Suzanne (French), Susanne (German/Scandinavian), Zuzana (Czech/Slovak), and Zsuzsanna (Hungarian); related short forms are Sanna and Sanne. Polish diminutives include Zuzia, Zuza, Zuzka, Zula, and Zunia.
