Drogo

Look up drogo in Wiktionary, the free dictionary.

Drogo (French: Dreux or Drogon, diminutive Drouet; Italian: Drogone) is a male given name of Germanic origin.

The etymology of the name is disputed, possibly from Proto-Germanic *draugiz ("hard, solid").[1] It has also been linked to Old Saxon drog ("ghost") or Old High German tragen ("to carry"). It may have been borrowed into Germanic from Slavic dorogo ("dear").[2]
