Dracaena Name meanings & History
Dracaena is a Latin name derived from the word 'draco' meaning 'dragon'. It is also the name of a genus of trees and shrubs that are native to Africa. The name Dracaena has no known meaning in terms of baby names, but the tree it is named after is known for its striking appearance, and is sometimes called the 'dragon tree' due to the red sap it produces. From the name of a genus of about forty species of trees and succulent shrubs, which is the Latinized form of Greek δράκαινα (drakaina) meaning "she-dragon", the feminine form of δράκων (drakon) - compare Drakon. In Greek mythology a drakaina is a female dragon, sometimes with human-like features; the mythological characters of Ceto, Lamia, Echidna, and Scylla were all considered drakaina. Dracaena is an uncommon and unique name that is suitable for parents who are looking for something out of the ordinary.

However, it is important to consider the association with the tree genus, which may or may not be an important factor for parents.
