Lucifer Name meanings & History

The name Lucifer has Latin roots. The name Lucifer means "light-bearer" or "morning star". Means "bringing light", derived from Latin lux "light" and ferre "to bring". In Latin this name originally referred to the morning star, Venus, but later became associated with the chief angel who rebelled against God's rule in heaven (see Isaiah 14:12). In later literature, such as the Divine Comedy (1321) by Dante and Paradise Lost (1667) by John Milton, Lucifer became associated with Satan himself. The name Lucifer is not commonly used as a baby name, but some parents may choose it for its unique sound or rebellious connotations.
