Narcisio is Greek, Italian in Origin.

Narcisio is a rare Romance variant of Narciso, ultimately from Greek Narkissos, linked to narkē “numbness” and the daffodil flower. The myth of Narcissus underpins the name’s imagery, while Christian tradition sustained it through saints such as Narcissus of Jerusalem (2nd–3rd century) and the Iberian cult of Sant Narcís (Girona), keeping it in use across medieval Spain and later Latin America. Narcisio surfaces sporadically in Spanish and Italian records and is occasionally seen in Portuguese-influenced contexts, though Narciso remains the dominant form.

Related variants include Narciso (Spanish, Italian, Portuguese), Narcís (Catalan), Narcisse (French), Narcis (Romanian), Narcyz (Polish), Narkis (Hebrew), and the Latinized Narcissus; feminine counterparts are Narcisa and Narcissa. The meaning centers on “daffodil,” with overtones of sleep or stupefaction from the root, and modern associations extend to “narcissism,” though the name’s floral, springlike symbolism endures.
