Vlad Ţepeş.
ADDITIONAL 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).
Count Dracula lives in Transalvaina. Castle Bran is in Romania, and has millions of visitors. I reccomand visiting during winter. Only than you can feel the real Dracula spirit.
The Count's coachman is Dracula the Count himself
The word Dracula derives (historicaly) from a fraternal order of Knights called 'The Order of the Dragon' founded prior to 1431 by Sigismind of Luxembourg to defend Europe against the Turks. It's more popular usage was by Bram Stoker, the Irish novelist. Count Dracula was published in 1897
In no specific order: Count Orlock. Count Dragule. Count Olrox. Nosferatu. Count Orlock Nosferatu. Vlad Țepeș (Vlad Tepesh), Vlad Dracul, Dracul, Draquo, Dragonking, Lord of Vampires, The count.
Dracula's middle name is often referred to as "Vlad," making his full name Vlad Dracula. He was a historical figure, Vlad III, also known as Vlad the Impaler, who inspired Bram Stoker's fictional character Count Dracula. The name "Dracula" itself means "son of the dragon," derived from his father's name, Vlad II Dracul.
