It wasn't originally built for the Suez Canal, but it was originally conceived for the Suez Canal. I have read accounts that range from the original concept being meant to resemble an Arab peasant woman, to her being meant to resemble the goddess Isis. As Bartholdi was working on the concept, he realized that he would never get the funding from Egypt, he later traveled to New York and reconceived his plans. The statue now most closely resembes the Greek Goddess Hera.

However, the Ottoman Empire couldn't come up with the financial backing, and so the statue was built in New York City instead. Sources: see the Related Links below.
