DRUSTAN comes from the Celtic name Drystan, which was probably derived from drest meaning "riot" or "tumult". It is sometimes associated with Latin tristis "sad", but this connection is doubtful. In Celtic legend Tristan was sent to Ireland in order to fetch Isolde, who was to be the bride of King Mark of Cornwall. Instead, Tristan and Isolde end up falling in love.
I think it's safe to say you pronounce it DROO-stan.
DAGEUS can be traced back to Lough Dagea ("Lake of the Two Geese") on the north side of the Slieve Daene mountain in Ireland. Dageus (a catholic saint) is most likely the Latinized version of the name. The Latin suffix -eus typically means "of, from."
Pronunciation would be either dag-EE-us or dag-AY-us.
