Devil names: Origin, structure, and meaning

Evil to the core and up to no good, devils have a long history in religions, mythologies, legends, and histories across cultures from Judeo-Christianity to the many cultures of Asia.

Like demons, devils open up all sorts of evil possibilities for villains in literature or movies, ranging from Satan in Paradise Lost to the titular character of the Diablo series.

Devil naming conventions

Devil characters in Europe and North America often pull on Hebrew and Middle Eastern (not to be confused with Arabic) roots. Consequently, these devils’ names tend to be mononyms (one-word names) that reflect Biblical traditions and Middle Eastern naming conventions. 

Devil name inspiration

Devil names are often taken on after the falling of a spirit, which means these names suggest the evil nature the character or figure has adopted. You can also expect many ‘s’ and slithering sounds to be common, hinting at the snake—or even dragon-like—features of devils.
