The first word of Hogwarts motto is DRAGO not DRACO as in Malfoy DRAGO means
Dragon. AS far as I remember Draco was a Roman General, but It Does not mean
Dragon

{Anne}

"Draco" is the designation for the dragon constellation whose tail seperates
Ursa Major from Ursa Minor.
and, according to Cassell's Latin and English dictionary, it does indeed
mean "a kind of snake or dragon"
