Susann

Susann is a feminine given name, a variant spelling of Susanna and Susan. The name originates from the Hebrew Shoshannah, meaning lily, and reached Western Europe through Latin and Greek forms such as Susanna. Over time, different languages produced multiple spellings, among them Susanna, Susanne, Susana, and Susie.

In terms of usage, Susann is found as a distinct spelling in several European regions, including German-speaking areas and parts of Northern Europe, where it is treated as a separate variant from Susanna or Susanne. The name’s variants—Susanna, Susanne, Susana—are more widely encountered in English-, German-, and Romance-language contexts, reflecting local naming traditions. The form Susann tends to be less common today than some of its broader variants, but it remains in occasional use in contemporary naming.

Cultural and historical context emphasizes the name’s biblical connection. Susanna appears in the deuterocanonical Book of Daniel (Susanna and the Elders), contributing to the name’s long-standing presence in Christian contexts. Beyond religious texts, Susann and its variants have appeared in various European literary and secular records since the Middle Ages, often influenced by local spelling conventions and naming fashions.

Overall, Susann is a traditional, internationally recognisable variant of a classic name with roots in Hebrew, and it sits among a family of forms that continue to appear in modern naming choices. See also Susanna, Susanne, Susana.
