Devil is an English equivalent of 'Drac' based on the current day Romanian language. When the genitive suffix is added, the noun refers to the son of the devil. This father and son team may be seen as the devilish, satanic father and son. Or it may be seen as an infamous father and son from Romania's past.

Specifically, the father of Vlad the Impaler [c. 1431-December 1476] was known as Vlad Dracul, after his induction in 'The Order of the Dragon'. Therefore, the devil may refer to Vlad Dracul. The devil's son may refer to Vlad the Impaler.

In Romanian, the word 'dragon' often is considered a synonym of 'diavol' and 'drac'. In fact, all three words may mean 'the devil'.
