Lestat is not just another French name. Lestat de Lioncourt is the fictional vampire in Anne Rice's *Vampire Chronicles*.
Rice probably concocted the name from the Old French "l'estat" meaning "status, state or condition of life".

I understant that Lestat was a character from Anne Rice's novel "Vampire Chronicles", but he is also a character in her other novel "Queen of the Damned." These charcters do not have much in common, except that they are Vampires. What I don't understand is why an author would have two seperate characters with the same name unless there was some other meaning. I wish that someone could explain the significance.
