Susie
Girl name · 20 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Susie: 20 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 4 births in 2011.
A cheerful, enduring diminutive of Susan, Susie ultimately traces back to the Hebrew name Shoshannah, meaning "lily" or "rose." Among its most recognisable bearers are Susie Dent, the beloved lexicographer and Countdown regular, and Susie Wolff, the Scottish racing driver and first woman to complete a Formula One weekend on track. While no major places are named directly after the name, the variant "Suzy" occasionally appears in pop culture, most notably in the classic nursery rhyme "Polly Put the Kettle On" where Susie takes it off again. The name also gained a rock-and-roll edge as the title of the Creedence Clearwater Revival hit "Susie Q," ensuring its place in musical history.
