History & Origin
Suellyn is a blend of Sue, the short form of Susan, with Ellyn or Lynn. Susan comes from the Hebrew Shoshannah, a lily or rose, so the name carries that floral meaning. Suellyn appears in United States records from around nineteen-forty-one, peaked in the early nineteen-forties, and stayed a rarity of a couple dozen girls a year.
A Suellyn of the nineteen-forties would be in her eighties now, and the name reads as a graceful mid-century Sue-blend, cousin to Sueann and Suzanne. It inherits Susan's lily meaning and has stayed rare rather than reviving.
