Meaning: Dragon, serpent

With its epic meanings of “dragon” and “serpent,” Drakon suits the tenacious tot with a fiery core. This masculine name is Greek in origin and is Latinized as Draco. Lending itself to the starry night sky, Draco is the name of a Greek constellation representing Ladon, the Hesperian Dragon. This hundred-headed serpent was the guardian of the golden apples in the garden of the Hesperides. When Herakles defeated him in his Twelve Labors, Ladon was sent to the stars to form one of the largest constellations in the Northern Hemisphere. Drakon, confident and commanding, crowns the little nestling destined to brighten your world.
