Re: What is the (simple) meaning of Susan ?
in reply to a message by laney
The modern meaning may be "rose," however, according to my bible program, Susan (is a short form of Susanna which is a form of the Greek Sousanna) is derived from Shoshannah which itself is derived from the Hebrew word, "shoshan" which means lily from its whiteness.
