What was Count Dracula’s original name in the Bram Stoker classic?

Stoker grew up to become a football (soccer) star at Trinity College, Dublin. After graduation, he got a job in civil service at Dublin Castle, where he worked for the next 10 years while writing drama reviews for the Dublin Mall on the side. In this way, Stoker met the well-respected actor Sir Henry Irving, who hired him as his manager. Over the years, Stoker began writing a number of horror stories for magazines, and in 1890 he published his first novel, "The Snake's Pass."

Stoker would go on to publish 17 novels in all, but it was his 1987 novel "Dracula" that eventually earned him literary fame and became known as a masterpiece of Victorian-era Gothic literature. Written in the form of diaries and journals of its main characters, "Dracula" is the story of a vampire who makes his way from Transylvania. Stoker had originally named the vampire "Count Wampyr." He found the name Dracula in a book on Wallachia and Moldavia written by retired diplomat William Wilkinson, which he borrowed from a Yorkshire public library during his family's vacation there.
