Thank you for raising that. You are correct that “Lucifer” is not the original Hebrew name found in Isaiah 14:12.
The Hebrew phrase there is helel ben shachar, commonly understood as something like “shining one, son of the dawn” or “morning star, son of the dawn.” When the Hebrew was translated into Latin, the Vulgate used the word lucifer, which in Latin simply means “light-bearer” or “morning star.” It was not originally being used there as a personal name.
Over time, especially in Christian tradition and through the influence of the King James Version, “Lucifer” came to be used as a name for Satan before his fall.
So if a page uses “Lucifer,” it should be explained carefully. The stronger biblical point is not that Satan’s original proper name was definitely Lucifer, but that Isaiah 14 uses exalted imagery about the fall of the king of Babylon, which many Christians also understand as reflecting the pride and fall of Satan behind that earthly power.
Ezekiel 28:12–17 is often considered alongside Isaiah 14 because it describes an exalted being in Eden who was perfect until iniquity was found in him.
So I would not defend “Lucifer” as the literal Hebrew name of Satan. It is better understood as a traditional term that developed from the Latin translation of Isaiah 14:12.
