Susie

Susie is an English pet form of Susan, which derives from the Hebrew name Shoshannah, meaning lily or rose. The name entered English through the Greek Sousanna and Latin Susanna, familiar from the biblical figure Susanna in the Book of Daniel. Susie gained widespread use as an independent given name in the nineteenth century, particularly in Britain and North America. Related forms include Susan, Susanna, Suzanne, and Sue.
