Narcisse
Narcisse Origin and Meaning
Narcisse is a refined feminine name with French origins, derived from the Greek word 'narkissos,' referring to the narcissus flower. In Greek mythology, Narcissus was a hunter known for his beauty who fell in love with his own reflection. While the masculine version has historical usage, particularly in France and French-speaking regions, the feminine form Narcisse is considerably rarer. The name carries an elegant, sophisticated quality with literary and botanical associations. Despite potential connections to narcissism, the name primarily evokes the delicate beauty of the narcissus flower rather than vanity. Narcisse has never achieved widespread popularity in English-speaking countries but maintains a certain appeal for parents seeking a distinctive French-inspired name with classical roots. Its uncommon nature makes it an intriguing choice for those who appreciate names with rich historical and mythological connections.
