Susi Origin and Meaning

The name Susi is a girl's name.

Susi is a charming feminine name that functions as a diminutive of Susanna or Susan, names derived from the Hebrew Shoshannah meaning 'lily' or 'rose.' This short form is particularly common in German, Finnish, and Hungarian-speaking regions, though it appears across many European cultures. Susi carries a sweet, friendly quality with its soft sounds and approachable nature. While often used as a nickname, it has established itself as an independent given name in many countries. The name exudes a casual warmth and vintage appeal, reminiscent of mid-20th century preferences. Though not typically among top-ranking names, Susi has maintained steady usage, particularly in Central European countries. Its international recognition makes it work well across language barriers while retaining its affectionate, familiar character.
