Meaning & Story

Named after Lestat de Lioncourt, the charismatic vampire protagonist of Anne Rice's 'Interview with the Vampire' — dark, immortal, and magnetically dangerous.

Lestat is for the pet with a dark, commanding presence and an air of immortal elegance. Anne Rice's vampire anti-hero is one of literature's most compelling characters — gorgeous, ruthless, eternally fascinating.

The perfect name for an animal who seems ancient beyond their years.
