Suzanne

Suzanne is a French form of the name Susanna, ultimately from Hebrew meaning "lily." It gained widespread popularity in English-speaking countries during the mid-20th century.

The name appears in notable cultural works, including Leonard Cohen's song "Suzanne" and the Neil Diamond hit "Sweet Caroline," which was reportedly inspired by Caroline Kennedy but often misremembered as being about a Suzanne.
