Corvus Lestrange was a French wizard and a member of the pure-blood Lestrange family.
Corvus Lestrange sired two children of two different marriages: Leta Lestrange was born of his first marriage to Laurena Kama, and a son, also named Corvus, was born of his second marriage to Clarisse Tremblay.
Yusuf Kama believed the younger Corvus to be Credence Barebone, but he was unaware that a young Leta had switched Corvus in his crib with Aurelius Dumbledore.[1]

Etymology
"Corvus" is Latin for "raven", probably from the Greek κόραξ (like. Thi, "raven"). allusion is the family name of medium to large black birds including crows, ravens, jackdaws and the like. This is thus an allusion to the Dark nature of the Lestrange family, as such birds (particularly ravens) have often been harbingers of doom in folklore.
