A name that means 'Dragon'
I need a masculine name that means 'Dragon', for a character in a story I'm doing. I've already searched, and the closest available names are Drake and Draco, and I don't want those, it would seem to cheesy for the story.Thanks

youve caught my interesti like dragons a lot, so im interested in ur story, but as for the name
Zuo is a chinese word meaning dragon, and heres some names of different species, maybe one will inspire u
Lung is another chinese word for a dragon in china, and there are four types of Lung, they are:
Tien-lung - the celestial dragon (tien means sky, and makes a great name)
Shen-lung - the spirtual dragon (shen makes a cool name, buts its also a nickname for the female name Shannon, and means 'evil in another language)
Ti-Lung - the earth dragon (Ty is a popular name, from the name Tyler)
Futs-lung - the underworld dragonThe great dragon in china who controlled all the river dragons was Chien-TangFaerie Dragon - ok this one doesnt help all to much, but these were little mini dragons, that looked more like giant butterflies, or faries
Wyvern - These dragons had two wings and only two legs, its a european dragon, it had a stinger on its tail, much like a scorpian (Wyvryn, a play on the word Wyvern means also 'jewelled valley' a fabelled place of the dragons (Nordic Mythology)
Hydra - classified as a dragon, these greek creatures sometimes had wings, and legs, sometimes not, and had multiple heads
Pernese Dragon (my favourite) - from Persia of course
Drake - only legs, no wings, a westren dragon
Amphiptere (Am-fih-teer) - no legs, only wings, these are mexican, the most popular Amphitere was Quetzalcoatl (kwet-zah-coat-al), u might notice this is a similar word to the bird the Quetal, which when flying looks like as serpant with its two feet long green tail feathers
Wyrm - (not a dragon to me, but w/e) - no legs, no wings, also know as the Guivre (Gy-veer) ok so i think thats a cool name... Guivre,
Lindworm - (maybe the name Lindsey) two legs, no wings, first discovered and recorded by Marco Polo!!!
Sea serpents... no interesting names here so ill skip it
Ouroboros - always holds its tail in its mouth, first found in Egypt, then Greece
Midgard Serpent - from norse mythology, a dragon that incompased the world and held its tail in its mouth
Amphisbaena (Ahm-fiz-bee-nah) - this dragon had a head on its neck, and on its tail, an african dragon
Naga - an indian dragon (east indian) with the bodys of a serpent, and the head of a human

Quetzalcoatl, I like that one, but, due to religious reasons, I'm not going to use it. I'm going to go with Tien or Shen-Lung. No offense to Phineas, but I like these more.

i think ur my new best friendi like the name hiroshi, and i really thought u were of japanese heritage at first, no difference tho
i love everything japanese, and chinese too
ive been teaching myself small bits of chinese, and oh boy its hard
i was just thinking how u write, and like dragons or stuff about them, and the orient, wow thats like me in a box
if u have a thing for weaponry... id think ur a long lost twin, jk lol
i was just curious what your story is about, just a quick over view of it,
i started reading it, but i just dont have the time to get to in depth
so is based on another world of sorts, or is this midevil times, or midevil times with a twist
just curious, i also like midevil times,
i have 21 novels (i havent started to write any of them :S) and 4 are based on dragons, phoenixs, and angels (not your Judeo-Christian angels)
and i have another based in China, around the times they had their great Dynasty's
so i was just interested in you, i know some time ago someone got quite agressive over ppl talking about non-name related material on this board so if you are interested my email is adriadracis@hotmail.com
hope to hear from you
btw i like Tien better~Silver (SD)

I looked around and couldn't really find anything that meant specifically "dragon" but I'd suggest Phineas which means "serpent's mouth", or perhaps from mythology Abas which meant "lizard". Another longshot--Ceto which means "sea monster". Hope this helps--good luck with your story! =^)

Ryo means dragon in Japanese.

ive never seen it as Ryo, but always as ryu...
vote up1vote down
At least that's what I've heard...This site lists Ryo as meaning "excellent". I've read an SF story, however, in which a Japanese woman names her spaceship Ryo because (she claims) it means "dragon".Say, with a name like Hiroshi, aren't you Japanese...?

I'm not Japanese, and Hiroshi isn't my real name, its a pen name, I have no asian ancestory what so ever (Mostly england and whales, and a little scottish, and very little german.) I am going to try to learn japanese, I'm very interested in Japan. I'm going to look over those names again.Also, I've seen Ryu (Not Ryo) meaning Dragon.
