Biblical PN

1.

Name given to SATAN (2 Nephi 24:12 = Isaiah 14:12)

Etymology

LUCIFER is a name given to SATAN mentioned once in the ISAIAH section of the Book of Mormon but not mentioned as a separate PN or GN in the Book of Mormon. Lucifer, meaning "light bearer," is the Latin Vulgate translation of the Greek Septuagint heosphóros, "bringer of dawn," which in turn is the Greek translation of the Hebrew hêlēl ben šaḥar, "shining one, son of the morning."
