Susie

Susie is a Hebrew-origin nickname, a diminutive of Susan, derived through the Greek Sousanna from the Hebrew Shoshana meaning 'lily' or 'rose.' It has a sweet, vintage quality that was especially popular in mid-20th century America.

Susie is a name that feels like a warm hug — soft, sweet, and completely without edge. The lily and rose meaning fits perfectly for a gentle female pet who is all softness and affection. It has that particular mid-century American quality of names that were everywhere in the 1950s and are now charming again precisely because of their wholesome familiarity. Susie is the perfect name for the gentlest, most people-loving pet in the room — the one who wants to be in everyone's lap at once.
