Narciska is Greek in Origin.
Narciska is a rare feminine elaboration formed with the affectionate -ska/-ka ending common in Central and Southeastern Europe (compare Mariska or Boriska). It descends from the Narcissus name family - Greek Narkissos via Latin Narcissus - whose literal meaning is “daffodil” and whose root (narke, “numbness”) underlies the myth of Narcissus and themes of self-reflection.
As a given name it functions chiefly as a diminutive or regional variant of Narcisa/Narcissa in Hungarian and South Slavic contexts, and remains very uncommon. The wider family saw modest female adoption in the 19th–20th centuries amid floral-name fashions. Related forms include Narcisa (Romanian, Spanish), Narcissa (English), Narcisse (French), Narciso (Italian, Spanish, Portuguese), Narcis/Narcís (Romanian/Catalan), and modern Hebrew Narkis; diminutives or short forms may include Nari, Ciska, or Siska.
