Meaning and history

Drogo is a Frankish name, possibly derived from Gothic dragan, meaning “to carry, to pull,” or from Old Saxon drog, meaning “ghost, illusion”; it may also be related to the Slavic element dorgŭ, meaning “precious, dear.” The name was borne by sons of both Pepin of Herstal and Charlemagne.
