Sanne makes a delightful choice for the star of the show: baby! Straight from the land of flowers, this Dutch name is an alternative to the famous Susan and Susanna, meaning "lily." It comes from the Hebrew term shoshan, which was given to lilies. Derived from shesh, which is "six" in Hebrew, it pointed to the six petals that formed the shape of a star. Lilies were often seen as a prized possession by the Israelites, used in perfume, and considered a sign of purity in society. Whether you have a penchant for the flower or wish to mark baby's admirable purity from day one, Sanne is a great moniker for your little cherub!
