Narcissus

US Popularity Rank: 7041

Origin: Greek

Meaning: Daffodil

Narcissus is a boy’s name of Greek origin, meaning “daffodil.” Its origins lie in Greek mythology, where Narcissus was a young hunter known for his exceptional beauty. He was so enamored with his own reflection that he became consumed by self-love and ultimately wasted away, transforming into the flower known as the narcissus or daffodil. It’s long been associated with ideas of vanity and self-admiration. Today, however, with its timeless allure, it could be a great choice to inspire your little one with a spirit of confidence and self-reflection.
