How to Say "Susan" in Japanese

スーザン

Sūzan

スーザン is used to refer to the female name Susan. Because it is a foreign name, it is written using the Katakana script.

Meaning: female given name (name)

How do you pronounce it?

Sūzan

If a Japanese person wanted to give スーザン a 'Japanese-style' name, they might choose Kanji that mimic the sounds of the name while adding meanings like 'elegant' or 'flower'.
To be polite, a Japanese speaker would rarely say just スーザン and would instead add the honorific suffix さん to create スーザンさん.
In some contexts, a Japanese speaker might perceive スーザン as an 'old-fashioned' Western name, similar to how an English speaker might view 'Dorothy' or 'Mildred'.
