Best Answer

The name 'Susan' is neither Irish nor Italian.

Instead, 'Susan' is the English form of the name. The Irish form is 'Sosaidh' or 'Siusaidh'. The Italian form is 'Susana' or 'Susanna'.

But not one of the three forms above represents the name in its original form. Instead, the name is of ancient Middle Egyptian and Hebrew origin. Specifically, the first recorded use of the original word is from around 2000 B.C.E., as 'sšn' ['lotus flower'] in Middle Egyptian. Similar words in ancient Hebrew and Persian mean 'lily'. Additionally, the root for the Hebrew word for 'lily' means 'to be joyful, cheerful, bright'.

'Joy', lily' and 'lotus flower' all may be found as meanings of the modern name 'Susan'.
