Narcissa is a girl's name of Greek origin, meaning "daffodil," from Narkissos. A cheerful and bright spring flower, the daffodil typically features six oval-shaped petals that join in a trumpet-like center. Many variations of the bloom exist, ranging in color from pale yellow to vibrant orange. Some theorize Narcissa comes from the Latin name Narcissus, which has been interpreted to mean “sleep” or “numbness_”_ from the Greek narkē. Harry Potter fans may recognize the name as Draco Malfoy's mother, Narcissa. If you want to call baby after your favorite flower or mark their springtime arrival, Narcissa is an intriguing choice for your little one.
