History & Origin
Suzzette is a decorative respelling of Suzette, the French pet form of Susan. Through Susan it reaches the Hebrew 'shoshannah', 'lily' or 'rose', and the -ette ending gives it the flavour of a French endearment, 'little Susan'.
The spelling stayed rare, drawing only a couple dozen girls a year at its high around 1965 before easing off. A woman named Suzzette then would be of a grandmother's generation; the standard Suzette has always been the more familiar form of this pretty French diminutive.
