Susanne, a classic name with enduring appeal, is the French and Scandinavian form of Susanna, which traces back to the Hebrew name Shoshannah, meaning "lily" or "lotus flower." The name's most prominent bearer in the English-speaking world is likely Susanne "Suzi" Quatro, the pioneering American-born rock musician and actress known for her hit "Can the Can" and her role on the sitcom *Happy Days*. In literature, Susanne is the name of the heroine in Voltaire's novel *Candide*. The name shares its root with the flower name Susan, as well as related forms like Suzanne. Interestingly, while Susanna appears in the Bible as a woman who ministered to Jesus, Susanne itself does not appear in the King James Version.
