Thanks! I guess that explains why I couldn't find any info about it on the internet under "African names". In fact, the only references I saw were in user names. :wink:
Your question about the Hebrew name is interesting. Yes it is Susannah in Hebrew. My name is Carol, but I have a sister Susan. Years ago my mother told me our Hebrew names, but she couldn't decide who was who. She
thought I was Shoshannah but wasn't sure. Some years later she decided that was right. I suspect my real Hebrew name is Shalometh, but since I liked Shoshannah better, and my sister doesn't seem to care, I just adopted it!
