Zuzana is a common female given name in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. It is often translated to other languages as Zuzanna, Zsuzsanna, Suzanne, Susan, or Susannah – all commonly derived from the Hebrew language name Shoshana, meaning "lily".
The nameday for people with this name is 11 August.
Both Czech and Slovak have initial stress and mark vowel length with acute accents, so the correct pronunciation of the name in the two languages is with the stress on the first syllable and with short vowels /'zuzana/.
There are several variations of the name. For example, the name is often shortened to Zuzka. For a child with the name Zuzana, one can also use the diminutive form Zuzanka. A modern nickname would be Zuzi.
