Meaning & Origin
Parents who choose Sueann tend to be looking for something that feels real but not common — a name with 2,152 recorded births and a peak of 70 in 1967, enough history to feel legitimate without being ordinary.
The sharp, distinct ending gives Sueann a crisp, modern feel that pairs easily with most surnames.
Sueann is not in the current top 1,000 girl names nationally, making it an uncommon choice — though your state or community may differ.
Sueann is a girl's baby name of Hebrew origin, a compound of Sue (diminutive of Susan, from the Hebrew shoshana meaning 'lily') and Ann (meaning 'grace'). Double-first names were especially popular in mid-20th-century America, particularly in the South.
EtymologyShow more
In the American context, Sueann is a girl's name with over a century of recorded use (1930–2019). Its Hebrew roots connect it to a broader naming tradition, but in practice, American usage often reshapes names — adding nicknames, shifting pronunciation, and building new associations that diverge from the original cultural context.
Though no longer in the top 1,000, Sueann’s 2,152 recorded births mean it has left a mark. Every name carries the accumulated identity of the people who have worn it — and Sueann has decades of that history.
