It is a very old woman's name that evokes purity and chastity, and that is associated with white or showy flowers, such as lily, lily or water lily. It has Egyptian antecedents such as Ssn (I owe them the hieroglyph), in Arabic 1587; 1608; 1587; 1606; 1577; ( suusanah ) or in Hebrew 1513; 1493; 1513; 1504; 1492; ( sosannaa ), from which it passed into Greek by biblical influence as 963; 959; 965; 963; 959; 957; ( souson "lily" ) to be incorporated into Latin as Susanna.
