Susanna

Susanna is the Latin and Greek form of the Hebrew name Shoshannah, derived from the root shoshan, meaning lily, or possibly from an Egyptian borrowing meaning lotus. The name appears prominently in the biblical Book of Daniel, where Susanna is a virtuous woman falsely accused and ultimately vindicated, and it also occurs in the New Testament as the name of a woman who followed Jesus. The name has been widely used across European languages for centuries, spawning numerous variants including Susan, Suzanne, Susanne, Susannah, and Zuzanna.
