Narsissa

US Popularity Rank: None

Origin: Greek

Meaning: Numbness

Harry Potter fans will recognize this name as the mother of Draco Malfoy and member of the Black family, but beneath this dark connection is a beautiful meaning. Derived from the Greek narkissos referring to a plant similar to a lily or iris with numbing properties, this beautiful girl’s name means “numbness.” According to Greek mythology, Narkissos was a young man who died and turned into the narcissus flower after staring at his own reflection for too long. This already unique name is typically spelled Narcissa, making Narsissa even more of a one-of-a-kind choice for your budding flower.
