Meaning & History
Derived from Old High German and Old Norse sunna meaning "sun". This was the name of the Germanic goddess who personified the sun. In Scandinavia it has also been used as a short form of Sunniva and Susanna. Use of the name in Iceland has been influenced by a character (Sunna Angelíka) from Margit Sandemo's Ísfólkið series of books (known in English as The Legend of the Ice People), first published in 1982.
