The name Lysandre has nothing to do with a fleur-de-lis.; it's simply the French form of the name Lysander, which has connotations involving freedom and liberation of mankind. Lysandros (Λυσανδρος)—the Greek form and original name—means "the release of a man," i.e. "Liberator". There was an actual man with this name, a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lysander Spartan admiral] who ended a great war. I don't want to give spoilers here, but those who know Lysandre's plan will know why this name fits the character so well. In fact, this is a rare case where I feel that the English name is far more fitting than the Japanese name. More information can be found at [http://www.behindthename.com/name/lysander Behind the Name]. I'll be updating the page now. | The name Lysandre has nothing to do with a fleur-de-lis.; it's simply the French form of the name Lysander, which has connotations involving freedom and liberation of mankind.
