Susan

Susan is a timeless classic of a name, with roots in Hebrew where it means 'lily.' It gained popularity in English-speaking countries in the mid-20th century and was a top name for girls for many decades. Think of Susan B. Anthony, the famous suffragette, who gave the name a strong, historic presence. Although its popularity has waned in recent years, it's still viewed with affection and familiarity. Common nicknames include Sue and Susie, and it's often considered a shorter form of Susannah or Susanne.
