Comments (Meaning / History Only)
The name Susan is Hebrew. It translates into a rose of Sharon and lily of the valley. These are phrases used in the bible to reference Jesus. In Hungarian, the name is Zsa Zsa (as in Gabor). I really like the Hebrew version of the name which is Shoshanna, sooooo cool. I like the zen sound to this name. The letter Z is often used in the various spelling of the name, which I find edgy and exciting. I think that it is the epitome of femininity. It has a long history in the French history, as well.
