Tutki henkilöitä nimeltä Susannah Tabor

Šōšannāh, a Hebrew word meaning "lily," is the ultimate source of the Finnish name Susanna. The Hebrew form traveled into Greek as Σουσαννα (Sousanna), and then into Latin as Susanna. This name's journey involved simple transliteration, meaning the sounds were adapted to fit the phonetics of each new language. The "sh" sound in Hebrew, not common in many European languages, was often softened or replaced. Susanna entered Finnish through Christian influence, becoming a relatively common name, particularly after the Protestant Reformation. Its popularity has fluctuated over time, experiencing periods of greater and lesser use. Variations and diminutives in Finnish include Sanna, Sanni, and Suvi. The name's association with purity and beauty, stemming from the lily flower, likely contributed to its enduring appeal across different cultures and time periods.
