Does my name susan or siwsan originate from the celtic name sulis?

Susan comes from Hebrew. It means "lily of the valley".

Does my name susan or siwsan originate from the celtic name sulis?
Well, as has been noted by others here, the name "Susan" derives from a Hebrew word for "lily."





A few variants of it are listed as "Shoshana", "Sukey", "Zsa Zsa", and "Zusa."





The name "Siwsan" would appear鈥攁nd I might be a little off on this one, as I have not found a specific listing for this name so far鈥攖o be a vairant of the Welsh name "Siwan" (Joan). It is also possible that it is a transliteration of "Susan" from the English to the Welsh鈥攂ut again, this is conjecture on my part, as I have not found "Siwsan" listed anywhere so far.





The name "Sulis" is/was the the Latin for a British goddess of healing springs. She was included with two other goddesses under the name "Sulevia." (The deific trio was refered by the plural, "Suleviae." The Irish counterpart of Sulis would be Brigid.)





This brings us to the actual answer to your question, which would be; No, sorry.
Reply:It's actually from the Hebrew, Shoshanah or Susannah.
Reply:No.
Reply:I thought the Welsh version of Susan was Siwan...Siwsan is just an adjustment in the spelling.As for it's origin,I don't know...sorry.
