Sorry, forgot to include this one in the previous posting. DRAGO (Italian) A form of DRAGON, a nickname or occupational name for someone who carried a standard in battle or else in a pageant or procession. The word was applied in Late Latin to military standards in the form of a windsock and hence resembling a snake, which the word "dragon" means in Middle English and Old French. ---Source: A Dictionary of Surnames by Patrick Hanks and Flavia Hodges.
