About Susette

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.

Pronounced soo-ZET.

As of October 2026, Susette ranked #19249 in US births in 2011 SSA, peaked at #1504 in 1956.
