According to the author of this paper, Subura (in folk speech Suburra) is a regressive form of the adjective Suburana which stems through dissimilation from Suburbana (sc. regio). The variants Succusa and Succusana, documented in the ancient grammatical tradition, may be a personal interpretation by Varro of *SVKVRSANA, a false epigraphic writing instead of SVBVRBANA
