Vlad's Romanian surname Dracula (also spelled "Draculea", "Drakulya,"drackuliea"), which he was referred to in several documents, means "Son of the dragon" and points to his father, Vlad Dracul, who received that moniker from his subjects because he

had joined the Order of the Dragon. Dracul, derived from the Latin word Draco meant "dragon", derived from the Greek word Dracon, though in modern Romanian it means "devil".
