There is one other popular term: Nosferatu. Different cultures have their own versions, and terms for, what are called vampires in English.

Additional:

Nosferatu has an etymological history that is very ambiguous and doubtful. It's most common accepted literal meaning is "the unclean one" or "the devil," though these interpretations are highly influenced by Chistianity and not by the origins of the creature in myth, legend, and folklore. Hence the term is not truly a synonym for "vampire," which itself was absorbed into English from other languages where it is a derived term as well.

The terms "uper" and "upir" from varied eastern European languages are actually the closest alternatives for "vampire," which did not occur in print until the mid 1800s.
