Sookie

Sookie is an English diminutive form of Susan, itself derived from the Hebrew name Shoshannah, meaning lily or rose. It developed as an affectionate pet form, used primarily in informal or dialectal speech, and shares its root with other diminutives such as Susie and Sue. The name gained wider cultural recognition through fictional characters, most notably the protagonist of Charlaine Harris's Southern Vampire Mysteries series and its television adaptation.
