Languages: This boy's name is used in Greek.

Narrative: In Greek mythology, a youth with 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 probably of such ancient origin that its meaning cannot be discovered, some have attempted to link the name to the Greek term narke (numbness) that forms the root of the word ''narcotic.''
