Suzannah is of Hebrew origin, meaning 'lily' or 'lotus'. It is a variant of Susanna, which was derived from the Latin Susanna, itself coming from the GreekSousanna. This name appears in the apocryphal tale of Susanna and the Elders, where it denotes beauty and grace. Suzannah gained prominence during the Victorian era and has since been used consistently, though rarely.
The name Suzannah experienced a significant increase in popularity from the late 1960s onwards, with the highest number of births occurring in 1967 (22 births) and 1968 (23 births). However, its usage has since declined steadily, reaching its lowest point in recent years with only 10 births recorded in both 2022 and 2023. Over the entire period from 1940 to 2023, there were a total of 1770 births registered as Suzannah.
