The name Dracula was applied to the Romanian ruler Vlad Tepes ("Vlad the Impaler"), who lived from 1431 to 1476.

Dracula mean "son of the dragon", because Vlad's father was Vlad II Dracul, a member of the secret Order of the Dragons, Dracul meaning Dragon. Vlad III the Impaler thus became Dracula, which is now synonymous with "Devil".
