Meaning, origin, history
Susann is a feminine given name of German origin. It is the German form of the Hebrew name Susanna or the Latin name Susannah. The name means "lily" in both Hebrew and Latin.
The name Susann has been used since ancient times, appearing in the Bible as one of King Ahasuerus' wives who was falsely accused of adultery by her jealous husband Haman. However, it became more popular during the Middle Ages when it was often used as a given name.
Today, Susann is still used as a given name in Germany and other German-speaking countries, but it is not as common as it once was. It remains a beautiful and unique name with a rich history behind it.
