Susy Origin and Meaning

The name Susy is a girl's name.

Susy is a feminine name primarily used as a diminutive or nickname for Susan, Susannah, or Suzanne. These parent names derive from the Hebrew Shoshana, meaning "lily" or "rose." Susy offers a playful, approachable alternative to the more formal Susan, with a cheerful, youthful quality that has appealed to parents for generations. The name enjoyed its greatest popularity in the mid-20th century, particularly in the 1950s and 1960s, when diminutive forms were fashionable. While less commonly given as a formal name today, Susy retains its charm as both a given name and nickname. The spelling variant with a single 's' distinguishes it slightly from the more common "Susie." The name evokes a friendly, warm personality with its soft sounds and familiar cadence.
