Meaning & origin
Zuzanna is the Polish form of Susanna, a name rooted in the Hebrew Shoshannah, meaning lily or rose. In the United States, Zuzanna first appeared in Social Security records in 1991, reflecting immigration patterns from Poland and other Slavic countries. Its peak popularity came in 2009, and since 2008 it has been decreasing in use. Though it remains rare, with a 2025 rank of 7,133 and roughly 1 in 107,151 births, Zuzanna has a strong presence in states like Illinois, home to a sizable Polish-American community. Like many ethnic name variants in the U.S., its trajectory mirrors waves of immigration and cultural pride. Zuzanna offers a distinctive alternative to the more common Susanna or Suzanne, carrying the same timeless floral meaning with a distinctly Eastern European flair.
