Susana (given name)
Susana is a feminine given name. Like its variants, which include the names Susanna and Susan, it is derived from Σουσάννα, Sousanna, the Greek form of the Hebrew שושנה, Shoshannah, which could have been derived from the Aramaic language. ܫܘܫܢ, Shoshan means lily in Syriac. سوسن, Susan, is the Persian spelling of this name. The spelling Susanna is used in Sweden, Italy, the Netherlands and Finland, as well as much of the English-speaking world. Zuzana is used in Czech Republic and Slovakia, and the spelling is Zsuzsanna in Hungary. In Polish it is Zuzanna. In addition to its use in English, the spelling Susana is also common in countries such as Spain and Portugal.
