History & Origin

Sueann is a mid-century compound of Sue, short for Susan (Hebrew Shoshannah, 'lily'), and Ann (from Hannah, 'grace'). The one-word spelling belonged to the postwar fashion for double first names, especially in the South. It reached its high around 1967 at close to a hundred girls a year.

Sueann faded after the nineteen-sixties as double names went out of style, and reads today as a mother-or-grandmother name of that era. The open form 'Sue Ann' remains familiar; the fused Sueann is its period one-word variant, joining two of the most traditional girls' names of the twentieth century.

Did you know? Sueann is a written-together version of the classic Southern 'Sue Ann' — part of a mid-century vogue for fusing two short girls' names, alongside Bettyann, Ruthann, and Joann.
