Of The Bible -- Susanna
The name "Susanna" is from
Σουσαννα (Sousanna), the Greek
form of the Hebrew name
שׁוֹשַׁנָּה
(Shoshannah) which was derived from the Hebrew word
שׁוֹשָׁן (shoshan)
meaning "lily" (in modern Hebrew this also means
"rose").
Two women with the name "Susanna" are
noted in the scriptures.
1.) The first Susanna was the heroine of the story
of the Judgment of Daniel. (The book which gives an account of her life
is also called "The history of Susanna," and is one of the
apocryphal books of the Bible.)
2.) The second Susanna was one of the women who
ministered to the Lord. (Luke 8:3) (A.D. 28-30.)
