    • 1548, The Holy Bible, Luke 8:1-3:
      - - ia ne Caxitoistakymende henen cansans. Nin mös mutamat Waimot iotca hen oli parandanut pahoist Hengist ia Taudheist nimitten Maria ioca cutzuttin Magdalena iosta seitzemen Perkelet olit vloslectenet Ja Johanna Chusan Herodesen Foudhin Emende ia Susanna ia monda mwta iotca hende paluelit heiden Tauarastans.
    • 1992, The Holy Bible, Luke 8:1-3:
      Hänellä oli seurassaan kaksitoista opetuslastaan sekä muutamia naisia, jotka hän oli parantanut taudeista ja vapauttanut pahojen henkien vallasta. Näitä olivat Magdalan Maria, josta hän oli ajanut ulos seitsemän pahaa henkeä, Johanna, jonka aviomies Kuusas oli Herodeksen korkeita virkamiehiä, sekä Susanna. Lisäksi oli monia muita naisia, ja kaikki nämä avustivat heitä omilla varoillaan.
      [A]nd the twelve were with him, and certain women, which had been healed of evil spirits, Mary called Magdalene, out of whom went seven devils, and Joanna wife of Chuza Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many others, which ministered unto him of their substance.
  2. a female given name from Biblical Hebrew, equivalent to English Susan
    • 1893, Zachris Topelius, Lukemisia lapsille, Werner Söderström, →ISBN, 4:jäs osa (Vihkot 7,8,9), "Egyptinmaan pääsky", pages 15–16:
      Eihän nimi mitään vaikuta, ja hullu narri se on, joka itkeskelee siitä, että hänen nimensä on Stiina tai Susanna. Kun vain ollaan hyvä ja hurskas, se on pääasia; silloin aina koristetaan nimensä.
      It's not that a name has any effect, and only a crazy jester would cry about her name being Stiina or Susanna. As long as one is good and pious, that is what matters; the name shall too then carry the reputation.
