What is the meaning of the name Narciso ?

The baby name Narciso is a Male name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced EN: /nɑrˈsiːsoʊ/; ES: /narˈsiso/; IT: /narˈtʃiːzo/; PT: /naɾˈsizu/.

Narciso is Greek, Italian in Origin.

Narciso is the Romance form of Latin Narcissus, from Greek Narkissos, linked to narkē “numbness, sleep,” source of the word narcotic. Through myth, it also names the daffodil, the flower that sprang up where the beautiful youth Narcissus pined away. The name thus carries layered meanings: “daffodil,” and by extension themes of enchantment, self-reflection, and sleep.

In use across Iberia and Italy since the Middle Ages, Narciso gained Christian footing via Saint Narcissus of Jerusalem and Saint Narcís of Girona. It spread to Latin America and the Philippines through Iberian influence. Today it is familiar yet uncommon in Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking countries and Italy, and rare in English. Variants include Narcís (Catalan), Narcisse (French), Narcis (Romanian), Narcissus (English/Latin), and Greek Narkissos; feminine forms Narcisa/Narcissa.
