Suzi

Girl name · 6 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Suzi: 6 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 3 births in 1979.

Suzi is a lively diminutive of Susan, which itself derives from the Hebrew *Shoshannah*, meaning "lily" or "rose" – a classic floral name that has bloomed in many forms across cultures. One of its most famous bearers is Suzi Quatro, the American rock-and-roll bassist and singer who stormed the charts in the 1970s with hits like "Can the Can" and "Devil Gate Drive," becoming a trailblazer for women in music. While no major places are named after a Suzi, the root *Shoshannah* also underlies the biblical name Susanna, which has inspired towns like San Susanna in Spain. The spelling Suzi, with its zippy 'z', adds a modern, energetic twist compared to the more traditional Susie.
