Popularity: The name Narcisa ranked 2852nd in popularity for females of all ages in a sample of the 1990 US Census.

Though this name appears on the 1990 U.S. Census lists, it is used by only a small percentage of the general population.

Narrative: In Greek mythology, the bearer of the source form of this name (Latinized and adopted into English as Narcissus) fell in love with his own image reflected in a pool. He gave his name to the disorder of obsessive self-absorption (Narcissism) and to a kind of lily.

Though the name is of such ancient origin that its meaning cannot be determined with any certainty, some have attempted to link it to the Greek term narke (''numbness''), which forms the root of the word ''narcotic.''
