Meaning & Origin of Dragan
Meaning: Dear, precious one.
Origin: South Slavic.
A common claim: Often glossed as meaning "dear" or "precious"; some lists also extend this to "fighter" or "warrior." Actually: The "fighter/warrior" extension isn't supported by the Slavic root drag ('dear, precious'); that gloss looks like drift from an unrelated warrior-names list rather than attested etymology.
