Written another way, "Dragolea," the name means "of love" or "the lovely one" - hardly fitting for a man who developed the unlovely habit of lancing his foes on a stake, from which the nickname "Tepes" (the Impaler) was derived.
Sous une autre forme, Dagolea, ce nom signifie " de l'amour " ou " l'adorable ", peu approprié pour un homme qui développa la méchante habitude de transpercer ses ennemis d'un pieu, ce qui lui valu le surnom de Tepes (l'Empaleur).
