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).

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Historically, the figure known as "Dracula" is Romanian prince Vlad Tepes or Vlad the Impaler in English. Originally, Vlad Țepeș's father Vlad Dracul nicknamed his son 'Drăculea' (Son of the Devil / Little Devil). In the novel "Dracula" by Bram Stoker, the count's name is, truly, Dracula. The two characters are similar, but not the same person unless you're counting the 1992 Francis Ford Coppola "Bram Stoker's Dracula" movie. Let's keep history away from fiction.
