Incidentally, the below are the only known names of people called the Suevi or who could be considered Suevi before the 5th century (in fact, the century is noted on the left side). 
Incidentally, Bissula may be a diminutive of Bissa (e.g., Ursa > Ursula) but that kind of a diminutive is hardly restricted to Germanic languages (it may also be worth noting that that is the name that Ammianus Marcelinus gives to the Vistula). E.g., Wojciech > Wojtyła; Tomasz > Tomala; matka > matula. As in:
Lulajże, Jezuniu, lulajże, lulaj!
A Ty Go, Matulu w płaczu utulaj.
