Based on the similarity of certain place names in Maramureș and Moldavia, taking into account local folklore, historian Ștefan S. Gorovei proposes that Dragoș was a member of the Codrea family who held the domain of Câmpulung in Maramureș. He says that parallel toponymsfor instance, Bedeu in Maramureș and Bădeuți in Moldaviashow that Vlach groups from the region of Câmpulung settled in the basin of the Siret River.
