Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Suzana je cudzojazyčná podoba mena Zuzana. Vychádza z hebrejského ženského mena Šóšanná (שׁוֹשַׁנָּה), tradične vykladaného ako „ľalia“, sprostredkovaného gréckou podobou Sousanna a latinskou Susanna. Gréčtina a latinčina predstavujú jazyky sprostredkovania, nie samostatné etymologické pôvody.
