Briefly, because the fictional name of Dracula comes from a real historical character, called Drăculea.
Originally, Drăculea was the nickname of the 15th century Romanian ruler Vlad III Țepeș (eng. Vlad 'The Impaler'). As a protector of Christianity and a guardian of freedom, he fought muslim invasion, being a very strategic element in safeguarding European integrity and culture. As history describes him, he was very cruel to those rich boyars enslaving the normal people and he is said to have reduced robbery and theft to zero, by publicly impaling the thieves, aggressors and rapers. During his reign, no one dared stealing the golden goblets provided in public areas for people to drink from the wells. He was very against bribbery and used to drain money from the rich to help the poor.
Based on his strong personality, Bram Stoker wrote a fictional book centuries later, describing a count called 'Dracula' that was a seductive bloodthirsty vampire, very hard to kill and impossible to stop.
In less words, Bram Stoker was inspired by Romanian ruler Vlad III Țepeș that was called Drăculea. That's why the character in his fictional book is called Dracula.
