Zsuzsa(meaning)

[Guest guest]

When I first saw Zsuzsa's name I had the same question. I did a

search and read that Zsuzsa is a Hungarian name derived from the

Hebrew word shushan which means " lily " when translated. Pronounced:

soo-ZAN-a similar to the English name SUSANNA. Is this correct

Zsuzsa? Names often lose meaning in translation. Lili

" From Sousanna, the Greek form of the Hebrew name Shoshannah which

was derived from the Hebrew word shushan meaning " lily " (in modern

Hebrew this also means " rose " ). In the New Testament this is the name

of a woman who ministered to Christ. It also occurs in the Old

Testament Apocrypha as the name of a woman falsely accused of

adultery. The prophet Daniel clears her name by tricking her

accusers, who end up being condemned themselves. "

Right you are, Lili! Thank you for all this lovely attention to my

name, which indeed has the same root as yours. My name is Zsuzsanna,

a cognate of Susanna, and is usually shortened to Zsuzsa or Zsuzsi.

And Susanna does mean lily, I was pleased to have learned that

several years ago.

 

But what's really cool is that the lily symbolizes purity. And

interestingly, the Hygiene movement which is now referred to as

Natural Hygiene, invented the word hygiene, which they derived from

the name of the Greek goddess Hygeia, who stood for purity.

Lili, my wife and I recently hired a nanny and her mother's name is

Zsuzsa. I asked her if your meaning was correct and she agreed.

Originally I thought the name was German.
