Random...Lelouch's surname...

[alleona88.livejournal.com]

old name Lelouch vi Brittannia
new name: Lelouch Lamperouge

does anyone know or wonder where he got it? does it have some special meaning or something?

or am I just over-analyzing things...


*edit*...I think I've made everyone dispute against one another just coz I was curious...O.o

but all of your answers are feasible and well, all I can add now is that with the series is still after all, on-going and more info will be coming up soon (from the official site, other sites, etc) which would then finally lead to answer (I just wonder how long that will take) and hopefully no one here will be going "I told you so" like some five-year-old... >_>

la louche*

It's a feminine noun. Which is highly amusing. xD

"La Louche" would mean "The Ladle".

But "Le Louche", based on the correct spelling, is French for "The Suspicious One"...and I guess it's quite fitting knowing his character.

I wonder if there's any significance to his last name, then. The only significant thing I've managed to find about red lamps is that Arthur Conan Doyle wrote a book called Round the Red Lamp, and that a red lamp was a sign of a doctor.

Theres more to it than that
From dictionary.com
louche
–adjective
dubious; shady; disreputable.
[Origin: 1810–20; < F: lit., cross-eyed; OF losche, fem. of lois < L luscus blind in one eye]

It comes from the word Luscus, which means blind in one eye.
