Drake Meaning — Origin & Biblical Significance
Drake
boy
Drake means "dragon," from the Old English draca, though in later English it also came to mean a male duck. The name is not in the King James Bible, and the dragon there is not a hero: "that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world" (Revelation 12:9). Many parents choose it for its Old English strength rather than that imagery.
Is Drake in the Bible?
No — the name Drake does not appear in the King James Bible. Christian families use it for its meaning, "Dragon; Male duck; Serpent", and for the biblical themes that meaning touches, not because anyone in Scripture is called Drake.
