In Greek myth, "dragons" are often spelled as "drakons." So Drake may be an abbreviation of drakon. Its weapon, the Basilisk Blasters, also references a Greek lizard, the Basilisks (which, ironically, are more acid-based than fire-based). The Basilisk in the Harry Potter series might also be the source of the weapon, although it too refers to the Greek (or was it Roman?) basilisks.

Also, basilisks are real lizards that are a lot less scary than the myths make them seem.

Sorry, I knew you only asked for Drake, but when bringing up drakons the Basilisk Blasters came up too.
