ArchivesRe: meaning or history of Narcedalia
in reply to a message by Irasemi Narcedalia
i don't know the exact meaning, but i'd assume that it is a combination of Narcissa (in greek legend, a god who stared at her reflextion so long out of vainness that she died and became a Narcissus flower) and Dahlia, which is a name based after another type of flower. so your name is two types of flowers combined.

On what are you basing this?
I highly doubt's the case, as it's a Mexican name....

I see this flower thing as a speculation too, but what has Mexican to do with it to make it unlikely? I checked: narcissus in Spanish is narciso, and dahlia in Spanish is dalia, so at least the words seem to work out for me.
The dahlia even seems to be the national flower of Mexico:

So why not coin a name with it?

it might be invented by the author as well. If you are named after the book Narcedalia Piedrotas, there should be some sources in Spanish maybe , about where the author got that name from ^^
