Notes:

English, Anglicized form of Susannah, from Hebrew "lily".

The spelling variant Shusan occurs very frequently in the 1841 Census of Aberdeenshire. This spelling may be common in older Scottish records and should be considered when searching indexes. Other spellings occur rarely but should be covered by a Soundex search.
