Narkissos Origin and Meaning

The name Narkissos is a boy's name.

Narkissos is a masculine name with ancient Greek origins, being the original Greek form of Narcissus. In Greek mythology, Narcissus was a hunter known for his extraordinary beauty who fell in love with his own reflection in a pool of water. The name derives from the Greek word "narke," meaning "sleep" or "numbness," which also gave us the English word "narcotic." Despite its mythological significance, Narkissos remains quite rare as a given name. It carries a classical elegance and connects the bearer to ancient Greek culture and literature. The narcissus flower was named after this mythological figure, adding a natural element to the name's associations.
