Meaning and background
The story behind Suzie
Suzie is an English pet form of Susan, sharing the same name family as Susie and Suzy. Its spelling makes the familiar sound particularly clear, but the underlying origin is not a new meaning created by the letter z. For a dog, it is a simple two-syllable name with a well-established human-name counterpart.
