Don actually comes from the latin Dominus - for lord or master. Its etymology: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don_(honorific)
Nowadays, it's been corrupted by its use to refer to crime-bosses, but in the early days, it used to refer to men of nobility; the term Don being used primarily in Spain, Italy, Portugal and Iberia
I think all the traits that you can find for Don Lothario:
Charismatic
Commitment Issues
Flirty
Hot-Headed
Schmoozer
can be also attributed to the literary Don Quixote as well.

Lothario was a metastory in the greater tale of Don Quixote - The Impertinent Curious Man...so there's that connection too.
