Lucifer, derived from Latin, translates to 'light bringer'. In Roman mythology, it referred to the planet Venus in its morning appearance. However, in Christian tradition, Lucifer became synonymous with Satan due to its use in the Vulgate translation of Isaiah 14:12 ('How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning').
The name Lucifer has seen a significant rise in popularity over the past two decades, with an increase from just 6 births in 2002 to a peak of 70 births in 2021. However, there was a notable decline in recent years, with only 43 births recorded in 2023.
