Dragos Family History

Romanian (Drago{s,}), and Serbian, Croatian (central Dalmatia), and Slovenian (Dragoš): from a derivative of the South Slavic personal name Dragoslav, based on the adjective drag ‘dear’, ‘beloved’. Americanized spelling of Hungarian Drágosi, a habitational name for someone from a place called Drágos(falva) in Transylvania. In some cases, perhaps a Magyarized form of Slavic Dragoš (see 1).
