The Turks called him Kaziglu Bey, or "the Impaler Prince." He was the prince of Walachia, Romania and defended also Hungary from the attacking Turks.
MORE INFO:
The term Dracula traces its origins to Romanian language.
Drăculea is the original 'nickname' of Vlad Ţepeş ('Vlad ZZepesh', where 'ZZ' sounds exactly like in 'piZZa'), a Romanian ruler that reigned in Transilvania (Eng. Transylvania) in the years 1448, 1455-1462, 1476. Several centuries later, Bram Stoker was born, fell in love with the character and decided to dedicate him an evergreen fictional book with the principal character reshaped as Dracula. Fantasy by history. That is.
More: Vlad Ţepeş's father (nicknamed Dracul) was a respected member of The Order of the Dragon with the duty to protect the South Eastern European gate in front of invading Turks. He encouraged his son by nicknaming him 'Drăculea' (Ro. 'son of Dracul').
His language: old Romanian (as seen in the centenary national monasteries).Is_it_Dracula_or_Draculea
