Meaning & origin
Susen is a rare variant spelling of Susan that first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1945. It peaked in usage in 1949, but the name never achieved widespread popularity. According to Social Security data, its trajectory has remained stable at very low usage, and it has not been recorded among the top names in any state. As a phonetic simplification of Susan, Susen represents a minor 20th-century spelling innovation that has not endured into the 21st century.
Susen is a variant spelling of Susan, the English form of the Hebrew name Shoshannah, derived from the Hebrew word for lily or rose. The name Susan became common in English-speaking countries from the 17th century onward, and Susen likely emerged as a simplified phonetic variant in the mid-20th century. Its usage in the United States is first recorded in 1945, with a peak in 1949, but it has always been rare.
