Suzan

Meaning of Suzan

Suzan is a feminine given name tracing back to the Hebrew Shoshannah, meaning “lily,” and represents a streamlined variant of the more common Susan. In English—pronounced SOO-zuhn (/ˈsuːzən/)—and in French—pronounced soo-ZAHN (/su.zɑ̃/)—it retains an unambiguous connection to its botanical etymology. The spelling Suzan registered modest but consistent use in mid-20th-century Massachusetts, ranking between 148th and 177th in newborn registrations from 1947 to 1968 with six to seventeen occurrences per year. This pattern highlights a stable, niche presence, appealing to parents who favor technical clarity and international flair without superfluous embellishment.
