Narcissus — girls' name

What the Data Says About Narcissus

The Social Security Administration has registered 318 babies named Narcissus between 1881 and 1961, spanning 81 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a girl's name, Narcissus currently falls outside the top 1,000 girls' names for 1961. The name reached its historical peak in 1919, when 16 babies received it in a single year.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Narcissus performed strongest in the 1910s, accumulating 75 births during that ten-year window. Across the 9 decades of recorded activity, Narcissus shows a clear decline from its mid-century high.

No etymological entry is currently available for Narcissus in our reference dataset. These figures derive from SSA's annual national and state-level name files, which include any name appearing at least five times in a given year or state-year; names below that threshold are suppressed for privacy and therefore excluded from the totals shown here. The 318 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
