Susannah comes from the Hebrew Shoshannah and means "lily", a flower word that was later also used for roses. In the Book of Daniel Susanna is the virtuous woman falsely accused by two elders, and Stephen Foster's song "Oh! Susanna" turned the name into an American folk classic. Susannah ranked number 1550 in 2000, its best recent position, and stands at number 2536 in 2025.
