According to Encarta, the Pendragon was the supreme war commander-in-chief of the ancient Britons fr Welsh "pen" head" + dragon "military standard". It is certainly used this way.

[edit] Dota-Allstar forum?
Is there a good reason why the screen name of someone on some website should be mentioned here? If no one can explain why it should be here, I'll remove it.

[edit] Origin of Pendragon
Now, in Old Welsh pen is "head" or "chief". Dragon means "commander", but draig means "dragon". Now, was the original Old Welsh Gwthyr Pen Dragon or Gwthyr Pen Draig? --Narfil Palùrfalas 14:21, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
