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).

Was Drakula a real person?
Count Dracula is a fictional character created by Bram Stocker in the shape of a vampire but it is allegedly inspired by the real hitorical figure. A 15th century Wallachian (present day Romania) prince called Vlad Draculea, or Vlad the Impaler. The name he was later given, "Draculea" means Devil in Romanian and was made famous by his cruelty towards thiefs, criminals and traitors who in his time were executed by having a large wooden spear driven through their bodies from the pelvic area to the back of their necks after which the bodies were left on display. However, the name Draculea was a diminutive of his father nickname of "Dracul", again meaning "the Devil". His father, also a Romanian prince got the name for having been awarded the Medal and Order of the Dragon by the Hungarian king Sigismund in recognition of his military accomplishments against the Ottoman Empire. At the time, Romanian language did not have the word "dragon" as it does now and the popular translation was "drac de mare", meaning "sea devil". From the word DRAC, he was named DRACUL, meaning The Devil and later his son, Vlad, inherited the name as DRACULEA, meaning "son of DRACUL". And no, Vlad was not a vampire, neither was he a count.
