No, Vlad Dracul was his father. "Dracul" means "the Devil" in Romanian; he got his nickname after returning from the German wars with his battle flag which had a dragon painted on. The peasants thought it showed the Devil, hence the name. Tepes got his name from his rather cruel form of punishment ("Tepes" = approximately "The Impaler").
Romania (Wallachia or Ţara Românească)
The word Dracula derives (historicaly) from a fraternal order of Knights called 'The Order of the Dragon' founded prior to 1431 by Sigismind of Luxembourg to defend Europe against the Turks. It's more popular usage was by Bram Stoker, the Irish novelist. Count Dracula was published in 1897
Romania (Wallachia or Ţara Românească)
Vlad Dracul - Vladamir Basarab II was born near the end of the 14th century in Wallachia, located between Transylvania and the Danube River in the southern part of modernday Romania. He was a duke of the Wallachian royal family, and all 4 of his sons ruled as Prince of Wallachia at one time or another during the 15th century. His nickname was Vlad Dracul or "Vlad the Dragon", following his induction into the Order of the Dragon, a 15th century chivalric order. Vlad Dracul is most noteworthy as the father of the more famous Vladamir Basarab III, known as Vlad Dracula ("Vlad, son of the Dragon") and later as Vlad Tepes ("Vlad the Impaler"). Vlad III was a violent and successful warrior and ruler, but noted for his cruelty toward enemies; his later nickname comes from a favorite form of execution, impaling his victims on sharpened wooden stakes. Myth and superstition surrounding the vicious Vlad Dracula created a legend of supernatural evils, and even contributed to a change in the meaning of the name Dracul; in modern Romanian, Dracul now means "devil".
The real Dracula was Vladimir III, Prince of Wallachia; also known as 'Vlad the Impaler'.
