What does the name Susy mean?
Susy is a spelling of Susie, pronounced the same way, so it shares Susie's meaning and origin.
Susie is an English pet form of Susan, and is also used for related names such as Susanna and Suzanne. Susan comes from the biblical Susanna, from the Hebrew shoshannah, a word for the lily (DMNES also allows "rose"; Wiktionary traces the word further back to Egyptian). DMNES finds Susanna in England from the 12th century, though it was uncommon there until the 1500s. Susie grew up as the everyday form and has been given as a name in its own right.
