In the days of the Ottoman empire a chain of christian nations composed of rumania, Hungary, Austria, Serbia, Bulgaria etc. (the exact members varied over time) united in defending Europe from what was a musilum invasion. (Religeous feeling then were ever worse than what they are today)
There was an order of knight created to defend this front. (Just like the Teutonic Knight, and The knights Hospitalier, and the Knight templer) This order was called the Order of the Dragon. And some knight derived their surnames from being a member of this order. The most famous of which is of course Vlad Dracul (aka Vlad the impalier, the prototype from Count Dracula) History has not been kind to the Knights Dracul.
Anyways out of the Balkan peninsula you will find several families with the name or some derivative of the word Dragon.
