Meaning and history
Sanne is a Dutch and Danish feminine name with more than one source. It commonly shortens Susanna, from Hebrew Shoshannah, “lily,” or functions as a short form of Johanna, from Yehochanan, “Yahweh is gracious.” The intended meaning therefore depends on the full-name tradition. Sanne is now widely used independently in the Netherlands and Denmark. Notable bearers include Dutch Olympic gymnast Sanne Wevers and Dutch footballer Sanne Troelsgaard.
In 2019, 5 babies were recorded with the name Sanne, ranking #15,539 among girls.
