"Dracula" is the modern form of "Drăculea". Both are correct.

The name Drăculea vas given to young Vlad Țepeș by his father, as a nickname meaning 'the son of Dracu/Dragon' (Ro. 'fiul lui Dracu'). It was a match to the fact that Vlad Țepeș was very crude, but honest and protectful to the ordinary people. The original Dracula(Vlad Țepeș) fought for justice, punishing invaders and boyars enslaving poor people.

Centuries later, Bram Stoker fell in love with the Romanian ruler's personality so he decided to write a novel in his honour. Today, his fictional book Dracula proved as one of the most sought for bestsellers ever.

Dracula (Vlad Țepeș) was a ruler in Romania in the times of Ottoman expansionism. He protected the gate of Europe against muslim invaders, fighting for Christianity and the freedom of European people. He ruled in Wallachia and Transilvania, both parts of Romania.
