Biblical PN | 1. | Name of Satan before he fell (2 Nephi 24:12) |
Note that “Lucifer” is not a transliterated Hebrew word but rather is the Latin interpretation of the Hebrew heylēl. The Latin means “light bearer;” the Hebrew is more complicated. For the etymology see the standard biblical commentaries.
