Suzannah is a first name for girls.
There’s a good chance that a girl named Suzannah in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Suzannah in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 girls is named Suzannah by her parents. In the ranking of most common girls names in recent years, Suzannah ranks at #6,957. That means there are 6,956 more common girls names, but there are also a few thousand that are even rarer. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Suzannah.
While Suzannah is not one of the most popular names of all time, it seems to have attracted parents especially more than 50 years ago in the last century. In 1975, the name Suzannah reached its highest popularity with #1,942 in our ranking of all female first names. As it is so exquisite, mothers and fathers did not always come up with the idea of naming their daughter Suzannah. Perhaps it was because the name was only occasionally in keeping with the spirit of the times - and girls in those decades were given the unusual and beautiful name of Suzannah.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Suzannah was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
In 2022, 11 babies were born with the name Suzannah. This puts the name in rank 7,858 in the SmartGenius statistics - or in other words, one in 13,475,627 newborns was named Suzannah that year. Ever since first names have been registered, Suzannah has been and remains marvelously unusual!
It is not so easy to find a woman or girl named Suzannah in the USA. Although the name is not sooooo rare overall, it is only at home in a few selected regions of the USA. In the entire United States there are currently a total of 85 women and girls named Suzannah, but there are vast areas of the country where not a single person with this name can be found. In fact, the 85 women and girls named Suzannah live in no more than 8 different states, including for example California, Florida, Massachusetts, New York and North Carolina. In all other 41 states, there are no – or, to be precise, less than a handful – women called Suzannah. (To explain: The official statistics provide the data per state only if at least five women with a specific name live in the same state. So, it’s quite possible that there are one or two states where someone with the name Suzannah lives although the name is not listed in the official statistics. Should you be one of those rare people whose name is Suzannah and you live outside the states highlighted on the map, please let us know so we can improve our statistics.). The state with the most girls and women named Suzannah relative to its female population is Texas. And even there, only one in 386,397 women and girls would raise her hand if you asked, who is called Suzannah.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter S is a very popular first letter for girls' names. That’s because 9.3% of all common girls’ names in the US begin with this letter. Only the first letter A is more common for girls' names.
With eight letters, the name Suzannah is long compared to other names. In fact, 14.5% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly eight letters. 78% of all first names are shorter, while only 8% of all boys’ and girls’ names use nine letters or even more. On average, first names in the US (not counting hyphenated names) are 6.5 letters long with no significant differences between boys' and girls' names.
That means that if 9.3% of all girls' names start with an S, this initial letter occurs nearly three times as often as all other letters on average. And by the way: Of all the girls' names that start with an S, Susan is the most common.
If your name is Suzannah and someone asks after your name, you can of course just tell them what it is. But sometimes that isn't so easy - what if it's too loud, and you don't understand them well? Or what if the other person is so far away that you can see them but not hear them? In these situations, you can communicate your name in so many other ways: you call spell it, sign it, or even use a flag to wave it...
