Meaning & origin
Susi is a diminutive form of Susanna or Susan, typically used in German-speaking countries and occasionally in English-speaking ones. It recorded its peak year in 1962, after which usage declined steadily. The trajectory of the name has been stable since the late 20th century, with very few births each year. While Susi has never broken into the U.S. top 1000, its variant Susie has historically been more common. The name carries a friendly, informal charm, often associated with the 1960s era when it was most popular.
Susi is primarily a diminutive or nickname form of Susanna or Susan, derived from the Hebrew name Shoshannah meaning 'lily'. It has been used as an independent given name in German-speaking countries and, to a lesser extent, in English-speaking regions since the mid-20th century. The name gained some popularity in the 1960s, peaking in 1962.
