Narcisio / Narcissus / Narciso

Narcisio is the Spanish and Portuguese form of the name Narcissus, which derives from the Greek word 'narkissos' (ναρκισσος). This word is believed to be related to 'narke' (ναρκη), meaning 'numbness' or 'sleep', possibly referring to the narcotic properties of the daffodil flower. The name is famously associated with the figure of Narcissus in Greek mythology, a beautiful youth who fell in love with his own reflection and was transformed into a daffodil. This myth has given the name connotations of vanity and self-admiration, though historically it was simply a nature-related name.
