[Meaning & History
Essentially means "son of Dracul" in Romanian, with Dracul being the Romanian word for "dragon". It refers to the 15th-century Wallachian prince Vlad III the Impaler, whose father was named Vlad II Dracul and so Dracula was a nickname of sorts for Vlad III. However, the name Dracula is now most known from the fictional novel of the same name written by Bram Stoker, which features a character named Dracula and which was at least partly inspired by the aforementioned historical Wallachian prince.
