Portuguese and Spanish: from a medieval personal name (Latin
Narcissus, from Greek Narkissos, the name of a
flower). This name was borne, according to classical myth, by a vain
youth who was so transfixed by his own beauty that he ignored the
blandishments of the nymph Echo and stared at his own reflection in
water until he faded away and turned into the pale but lovely flower
that bears his name. It was also borne by several early Christian
saints, in particular by a bishop who was said to have been put to
death, together with his deacon Felix, in Catalonia adc. 307. The personal name owes its popularity to this saint
rather than to the mythological youth.
