Suse Origin and Meaning

The name Suse is a girl's name of German origin.

Suse is a feminine name with Germanic origins, primarily serving as a diminutive form of Susanne or Susanna, which derive from the Hebrew name Shoshana meaning 'lily' or 'rose.' This short, sweet variation has been used across German-speaking regions of Europe for centuries. While not as common as other Susan derivatives like Susie or Sue in English-speaking countries, Suse maintains popularity in Germany and parts of Switzerland. The name carries a gentle, classic quality while still feeling somewhat distinctive. Pronunciation typically follows German phonetics as 'ZOO-zuh,' though it may be adapted to 'SOOS' in English-speaking regions.
