the name "lucifer" is derived from the latin word "lucifer," meaning "light-bringer" or "morning star." this term is traditionally associated with a passage in the book of isaiah, specifically isaiah 14:12, which reads: "how you have fallen from heaven, o day star, son of the dawn! you have been cut down to the ground, o destroyer of nations." the hebrew term "helel ben shachar" is translated as "day star" or "morning star," and the latin vulgate rendered it as "lucifer."
