Yes, there is the word dragon in the English word dragonfly, but not in other languages ​​(French, German, Spanish etc.).

"Dillon named the project after photographing a dragonfly in his yard, while he was still working on FreeBSD.[citation needed]"

An interesting page on the symbolism of this animal:

But I have not found any relevant reference regarding the choice of this logo for this BSD system...
