"First of all, his name was "Drăculea", Dracula doesn't mean anything in Romanian."
That's not a mistake. Vlad Dracula is just the historical Anglicized form of the name. In the same way we say Rome for Roma and Pope Francis for Papa Francesco / Franciscus.
- flavius29663 5y agoI thought he was called "Dracula" by foreigners only after Bram Stoker's novel. Apparently I am wrong, he was already mentioned like that by the Germans during his lifetime. https://medieval.gumlet.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/vlad-the-impaler-347x500.jpg https://medieval.gumlet.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/vlad-... https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Vlad_Tepes_-_Blatt_1.jpg https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Vlad_Tepes_-_Blatt_1...
