Thinking about the name
Susannah
Hebrew origin
“An alternative spelling of Susanna from Hebrew Shoshana meaning 'lily,' Susannah features a doubled 'h' ending that gives it a softer, more lyrical quality. This Victorian-era spelling choice emphasizes elegance and femininity, appealing to parents who appreciate historical literary references—the name appears in both biblical text and 19th-century literature. It strikes a balance between classic authority and romantic charm.”
