History & Origin
Susette is a pet form of Susan and Susanne, built with the French diminutive ending -ette and closely tied to Suzette. Through Susan the name reaches back to the Hebrew Shoshannah, meaning 'lily' and sometimes 'rose.' Its frilly ending suited the mid-century taste for French-flavored names, and it crested in the late 1960s.
Susette remained a modest choice, borne by a small number of girls before fading late in the century. A Susette from her peak is now in her fifties. The name reads as a dainty mid-century diminutive and has not revived, though Susan and Suzanne remain familiar.
