The Story of Susie
Susie is a diminutive of Susan or Susanna, derived from the Hebrew Shoshana meaning lily or rose. Shoshana appears in the Hebrew Bible and the Apocrypha (the story of Susanna in Daniel). The name traveled through Greek as Sousanna and Latin as Susanna before becoming Susan in English. Susie emerged as the warm, informal version of Susan that became hugely popular in mid-20th century America.
Susie peaked in American popularity in the 1940s-60s, when Susan was one of the top female names in the country. The song Wake Up Little Susie by the Everly Brothers (1957) captured the name at its height. It has declined significantly since the 1980s.
Susie belongs to a generation of friendly, approachable American nicknames — alongside Patty, Kathy, and Betty — that dominated mid-century naming. It evokes the wholesome optimism of postwar American culture.
