Susette Origin and Meaning

The name Susette is a girl's name.

Susette is a delicate feminine name of French origin, functioning as a diminutive of Susan or Suzanne. These names ultimately derive from the Hebrew name Shoshana, meaning "lily" or "rose." Susette carries a distinctly French flair with its characteristic diminutive suffix "-ette," conveying a sense of daintiness and charm. While never achieving widespread popularity, the name has maintained consistent if minimal usage throughout the 20th century, particularly in French-speaking regions and among families with French heritage. Susette offers a more uncommon and sophisticated alternative to the more familiar Susan or Susie, while retaining the floral associations and feminine qualities of its root name.
