Sosanna Origin and Meaning

The name Sosanna is a girl's name.

Sosanna is a feminine name that appears to be a variant of Susanna or Shoshana, which derive from the Hebrew name שׁוֹשַׁנָּה (Shoshannah) meaning 'lily' or 'rose.' This ancient name appears in biblical texts and has spawned numerous variations across many languages and cultures, including Susan, Suzanne, and Susana. Sosanna represents a less common spelling that may have evolved in specific cultural contexts, possibly in Eastern European or Mediterranean regions. The name carries the delicate floral associations of its root name while offering a distinctive spelling and pronunciation. With its melodic three syllables (so-SAN-na), Sosanna balances familiarity with uniqueness, making it appealing for parents seeking a name with historical depth but uncommon usage.
