Lucifer

The name Lucifer is commonly tied to the biblical Satan. However, the name Lucifer does not appear in most translations of the Hebrew Bible. Lucifer does appear once in the King James version in Isaiah 14:12, in which the King of Babylon is referenced as "Son of the Morning" (translated from the Hebrew "Helel ben Shahar [Praise! Son of the Dawn]"), due to the original use of Lucifer as Latin for the planet Venus, also known as the morning star. The designation of Satan as Lucifer has its origins in the Book of Revelations. Christian tradition and Scripture assert that Lucifer was the most beautiful of the angels (hence his title of Light-bearer) but was condemned to Hell, along with the angels who supported him, as punishment for the attempted usurpation of God's throne.
