I found a genealogy of Lady Godiva and Earl Leofric of Mercia's descendants (http://snipurl.com/c4ay). The family eventually married into Welsh nobility, and one of Godiva and Leofric's great-great-granddaughters was named Susanna, who was probably born in the 1060s. Her siblings were Owain, Cadwalader, Gwenllian, and Gwladys... all Welsh names.

So, my questions are: was Susanna used in Wales back then? Is/was there a Welsh form of Susanna? Or was Susanna named an English name to honour that ancestry, just happening to be the odd one out in her sib set?
