Suzi Origin and Meaning

The name Suzi is a girl's name.

Suzi is a feminine name that originated as a diminutive form of Susan or Suzanne, names deriving from the Hebrew Shoshana meaning 'lily' or 'rose.' This cheerful, perky nickname gained independent usage during the mid-20th century, particularly in the 1950s-70s when shortened forms became fashionable. The 'i' ending gives it a playful, youthful quality compared to the variant spelling 'Suzy.' While less common today as a formal given name, Suzi maintains appeal for parents seeking something sweet and unpretentious. The name evokes a friendly, approachable personality and carries nostalgic connections to mid-century popular culture, including singer Suzi Quatro who helped popularize this spelling.
