Seusss

Seusss is a nonstandard spelling form that is not widely recognized as a proper noun in major reference works. It does not correspond to a clearly defined person, place, or concept in established encyclopedias, and its use in published sources is extremely limited.

The term is easily confused with Seuss, the surname most commonly associated with Theodor Seuss Geisel, who wrote under the pen name Dr. Seuss. Seuss is a real surname of German origin, and it is the standard spelling used in biographical and literary contexts related to the author and his family.

There is no established etymology or formal definition for the variant "Seusss." In practice, it is likely a typographical error, OCR misreading, or a casual/creative misspelling rather than a recognized name or term. Because of the lack of authoritative usage, it should be treated as incidental and not as a canonical reference.

In usage notes, if you encounter "Seusss" in text, it is prudent to verify the intended reference. The more reliable form is Seuss, especially when referring to the authorly surname or to Dr. Seuss's works.
