Baby name
Lucifer
/LOO · si · fer/
Meaning
“Light-bringer”
From Latin lux ('light') and ferre ('to bring, to carry'), meaning 'light-bringer' or 'bringer of light'. In Roman antiquity it named the morning star, the planet Venus seen before sunrise. The name later became linked to Satan, a connection most scholars trace to a misreading of Isaiah 14:12 rather than to the word's own origin.

How it ages.
Extremely rare as a first name anywhere, including Italy, the home of its Latin root. Its strong link to the devil means most parents will read it as a bold, provocative choice rather than a classic one.
The cultural moment.
Even in Italy, the home of its Latin root, it is practically never given as an official first name, and it is not established as a real given name in any country. It is known mainly as a title for the devil and as a character name in literature and television.
