It was the Romans who called Heracles Hercules, its Roman name. Hercules was the Roman equivalent of Heracles. Needless to say that the Greeks used the name Heracles.
The real name for the greek hero "Hercules" was Heracles, but when the Romans invaded and took over the adopted the myth and named the hero Hercules. So Hercules is roman, but Heracles is greek.
Hercules's Greek name is Heracles.
Actually no, Hercules is the roman equivalent of Heracles, a demigod (half god half human). So the father of Hercules is Jupiter/Heracles is Zeus. On the other side of the problem Hercules/Heracles are not two different persons but to different names of the same idea. Anyway the bottom line is that either you call him Hercules or Heracles you refer to the same thing. also there are some differences between the two: Hercules, it is now believed that substitutes a old italic hero called Garanus with similar attributes and story.
Heracles.
