Draga is Slavic in Origin.
Draga is a South Slavic feminine name built on the Slavic adjective drag, dear, beloved. Its older linguistic background is Common Slavic *dorgъ, represented in Old Church Slavonic as dragъ; South Slavic liquid metathesis produced the familiar drag- stem. The final -a is the regular feminine ending, so Draga is literally the dear one or beloved woman.
As a given name it belongs to the same onomastic family as Drago, Dragana, Dragica, Draginja, and Dragomira, names especially characteristic of Serbian, Croatian, Slovene, Bosnian, and Montenegrin usage. The Cyrillic spelling is Драга. Recorded bearers include the Serbian writers Draga Dejanović and Draga Gavrilović, physician Draga Ljočić, Slovene actress Draga Ahačič, and Queen Draga Obrenović of Serbia. In modern English-speaking countries the name is rare, while in South Slavic contexts it reads as traditional rather than newly coined.
