Zuzia

Zuzia is a given name, primarily used as a diminutive or pet form of the Polish female given name Zuzanna. Zuzanna itself is the Polish form of Susanna, which has Hebrew origins, derived from Shoshana, meaning "lily" or "rose." The name Zuzia is common in Poland and is often associated with a sense of endearment and familiarity.

The popularity of Zuzia as a given name has fluctuated over the years, but it remains a recognizable and cherished name within Polish culture. While not as frequently used as a standalone official name, it is widely employed as a nickname for individuals named Zuzanna. The sound of Zuzia is often perceived as gentle and sweet.

The biblical figure Susanna, known for her piety and unjust accusation in the Book of Daniel, is the ultimate root of the name. Through various linguistic evolutions across different cultures, the name has retained its core meaning and has been adopted and adapted. In Poland, Zuzia specifically serves as an affectionate variation, commonly used by family and friends. There are no widely known historical figures or significant public persons primarily known by the name Zuzia alone, outside of its connection to the broader lineage of Susanna.
