סוזנה

Susanna is an ancient and moving feminine name with origins in Aramaic and Biblical Hebrew. The name derives from the Hebrew word 'שׁוֹשַׁנָּה' (shoshannah) meaning 'lily' - the famous biblical flower symbolizing beauty, purity, and nobility. The lily was one of the most esteemed flowers in biblical culture, mentioned numerous times in scripture as a symbol of love, beauty, and holiness. This name carries deep spiritual heritage and is connected to fascinating stories from both Jewish and Christian traditions. In Jewish tradition, Susanna is primarily known from the apocryphal Book of Daniel, which tells of a righteous and beautiful woman named Susanna who faced a severe trial. She was married to a wealthy man in Babylon, and two corrupt elders attempted to seduce her. When she refused their advances, they falsely accused her of adultery. Susanna was about to be executed, but the prophet Daniel intervened and proved her innocence through clever investigation. This story transformed Susanna into a symbol of righteousness, moral courage, and faith in divine justice. The narrative teaches about the power of truth, the importance of standing by moral values even under social pressure, and the necessity of true justice. The name Susanna is especially common in Sephardic and Mizrahi Jewish communities, where it has been preserved for many generations. It was also popular in Christian Europe, particularly among aristocratic and religious families. In Western culture, the English versions 'Susanna' or 'Susan' were extremely popular in the 18th and 19th centuries, considered elegant and refined names. In modern Israel, Susanna is a classic name that combines biblical heritage with a soft and pleasant sound. It suits women with strong character, high moral values, and a developed sense of aesthetics. The name carries a feeling of ancient nobility, feminine grace, and spiritual depth, and continues to be a beloved choice for parents seeking a traditional name with profound meaning.
