Meaning & Story
A Slavic name meaning to rule with great power, famously associated with Vlad the Impaler and Count Dracula.
Vlad is a name with a gloriously dramatic history that makes it irresistible for certain pet owners. It suits a dark-coated, intense dog who seems to regard the world with brooding authority. The Dracula connection gives the name a playful gothic charm that is hard to resist — especially for a midnight-black cat.
