Narcissus

Narcissus is a name with deep roots in Greek mythology. It comes from the Greek word 'narkissos', which refers to the daffodil flower, but is also related to 'narke', meaning 'numbness' or 'sleep'. The most famous figure bearing this name is the beautiful youth Narcissus, who fell in love with his own reflection and eventually turned into a flower. This myth has given the name a strong association with vanity and self-admiration.

While historically a masculine name due to the mythological figure, its association with a flower has led to occasional use for females, particularly in English-speaking countries. However, its strong mythological connotations often make it a challenging choice for a given name.
