Lucifer
Meaning of Lucifer
Lucifer is a male name with origins in ancient Greek mythology. The name is derived from the Greek word "Λουκίφερος," which means "light-bringer" or "morning star." In mythology, Lucifer was the name of a fallen angel who rebelled against God and was cast out of heaven. Due to this association, the name Lucifer often carries dark connotations and is rarely used as a given name. However, it does have variations such as Lucien and Lucio that are more commonly used. In recent years, the popularity of the name Lucifer has been relatively low in the United States, ranking around 2,000-4,000 among newborn boys.
