Drogo

Drogo is a male name used in various cultures and contexts. The most widely known reference in modern media is Khal Drogo, a fictional character in George R. R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire novels and the television adaptation Game of Thrones.

In the books and show, Khal Drogo is the formidable warlord (khal) of the Dothraki khalasar. He leads one of the largest horse-based societies in the world and is depicted as a powerful and austere leader who values strength and loyalty. Drogo's arranged marriage to Daenerys Targaryen sets in motion significant events in the series, including Daenerys's ascent within the khalasar and, ultimately, the arc that follows her evolution as a ruler. His death after a wound sustained in a violent confrontation becomes a catalyst for Daenerys's subsequent choices and actions.

In the television adaptation, Khal Drogo is portrayed by Jason Momoa, whose performance has been influential in shaping popular perceptions of the Dothraki culture. The character's presence, costume, and equestrian combat style contributed to the series' visual identity in its early episodes.

The name Drogo also appears as a given name in some contexts, and may be encountered in historical or fictional lists outside the series, though Khal Drogo remains the most prominent and widely recognized reference today.
