Etymology
Dracula as the vampire's name comes from a real Romanian name: Dracul comes from Latin draco 'dragon' and later was linked with 'devil', and Dracula meant 'son of Dracul'. Bram Stoker used that name for his vampire, so the name makes the character feel dark and dangerous and helps you remember him as a fearful figure.
