[Facts] Meaning of Lestat.
I've always been drawn to this name, I don't know why. I know it's the name of one of the most blood-thirsty vampires from the movies, like, "Interview With The Vampire", which is a movie I've seen.I think it's a mysterious name, maybe that's why I'm so drawn to it.I'm interested in knowing the meaning of this name, so maybe someone here knows? I'd be very happy, thank you in advance.Regards,Lu

i have looked everywhere as well, im fairly sure that it does not mean 'lord of all vampires'. anyway i love the movies and the books and liked the name so much that i have named my baby 'lestat'. so if you do find out please email me because i would love to know as well.

Lestat is great...
Anyway, the name means something like, well, it means some of the characteristics that Lestat has (i.e. bold, etc.). I saw it on some website. And yes, it's French.Rena

How do you know it means this?? I have been looking everywhere and have come up with nothing. It seems od to me that it would mean that, because it was a common name at one time... and people (especially in France) would not name their kids this.

Lestat means one of life and bold, but most of all, Lestat was a typo. anne rice really meant to name him Lestan after her husband, and there was a typo, hence Lestat. You can see Lestan used in Tale of the Body Thief, as Lestats alais, Lestan Gregor.
