The scientific name of the wild daffodil is Narcissus pseudo-narcissus. With the explosion of cultivars, there may be as many as 200 different species of what people commonly call a daffodil. The word "narcissus" comes from a Greek word meaning "numbness" referring to the alkaloids in the plant which cause a sedative effect. Of course, there is the Greek myth of the beautiful Narkissos, who fell in love with his own reflection and was turned into the flower "narcissus". The first reference to "daffodil" is from the 1590s.
