History & Origin

Sussie shadowed the popular Susie and Susan, touching a modest high around 1922. This spelling stayed rare while the standard forms carried the name.

It was never common on its own, given to only a couple dozen girls a year even at its peak, since most families wrote Susie or Susan. The doubled spelling reads as a homely period touch on a classic nickname.

Did you know? Susan and Susanna trace to the Hebrew Shoshannah, a lily or rose, and gave rise to the beloved short form Susie; Sussie is just a fuller-looking spelling of that same friendly nickname.
