Meaning & origin
Suzann is a concise spelling variant of Suzanne that saw its highest usage in the mid-20th century, particularly peaking in 1946. The name has since become rare but remains known through its connection to the classic Susan and Suzanne. While it has not ranked in recent data, its trajectory shows a stable but low level of use over the decades. The name's first recorded appearance in U.S. records is 1916, and it has not seen a revival. Suzann shares the 'lily' meaning of its Hebrew root, and the French-influenced spelling offers a slightly different feel from the more common Suzanne.
Suzann is a spelling variant of Suzanne, the French form of Susanna. Susanna derives from the Hebrew Shoshannah, meaning 'lily' (or sometimes 'rose'). The name appears in the New Testament as one of the women who ministered to Jesus. The variant Suzann arose in the 20th century, likely influenced by the French pronunciation and simplified spelling.
