Best Answer

An amulet of the shape of a dragon was presented to him. Leading him to the name of Dracula.

He was a man who was named and presented with an amulet of a dragon... leading to the name Dracula. He was a bloodthirsty ruler. He tortured people. The name was given to him because of the amulet he was presented with. Of course he grew into his name. Just as an example, he put people in a stake (alive) and watched them sink onto it by their own weight. At one time there was up to 400 people in a yard of stakes. This was one of his favorite ways of being entertained.
