Origin of Demon Names and Symbolism

Based on Hebrew sources and other mythological texts it has been found that there are more than 100 Demon Names including its infernal associates that were named based on their mythological origins and native languages.
The literature of Magic has huge influence on the names of demons and if we wish to learn more about them then we must jump to demonology which deals with the study of devil and demons.
The Book of Abram Elin, possibly written in the 14th or 15th century, lists four princes of the demons: Lucifer, Leviathan, Satan and Belial. (Demon Names)
In the 16th Century, Peter Binsfield along with several others cited 7 demons connected with 7 deadly sins (1589). These are;
Sr. No. | Demon Names | 7 Deadly Sins |
1 | Lucifer | Pride |
2 | Mammon | Greed |
3 | Asmodeus (Asmodai) | Lust |
4 | Satan | Wrath |
5 | Beelzebub | Gluttony |
6 | Leviathan | Envy |
7 | Belphegor | Sloth |
Soon it became a trend to assign demons with some symbol or object and later Cabalists associated their 4 demons with Galen’s 4 elements;

But it is Isaac XXVII:1 that makes Leviathan “a dragon who moves quickly, the monster in the sea, forever the enemy of God.” Rabbinic tradition made him androgynous, he is supposed to have seduced Eve as a man, Adam as a women (Lilith).

3 | Prince of Darkness | The battle between the forces of good and evil is a feature of the religion of the man we call Zoroaster, who lived more than 1000 years before Christ. In the Kephalion of Medinet Madhi, the Prince of darkness has 5 physical attributes which connect him with later Christian devils; the head of lion (symbolizing fire, whence Lucifer, connections with ancient gods of fire, etc.), the wings of an eagle (representing the speed of angels, whence the winged dragon, etc.). The hands and feet of demons (representing connection with humanity; one tenth of fallen angels were supposed to have mated with the earthlings to form the tribe of Mastema), the mid-quarters of a serpent (whence the serpent is Eden, etc.), and the tail of a fish (connected with Leviathan of Job, Isaiah, the Psalms). In Job, Isaiah, and The Psalms this is a primordial monster, like the Leviathan, the Behemoth, the Dragon. All depict negative forces and are termed the “enemies of God,” the Adversary, Satan. |
R
No. | Devil Name | Significance |
1 | Raum | Count of Hell, demon of devastation, commanding 30 legions. |

S (Demon Names)
No. | Devil Name | Significance |
1 | Samael | Angel of Death, temper of eve, said to be father of Cain, opposed Moses, fought the Archangel Michael in the form of a dragon. Another name for the devil himself. Also, used as equivalent to Asmodeus. |
2 | Satan | The Adversary (Numbers, I Samuel), a Hebrew designator. Arabic Shaitan (serpent) gets confused or conflated and translated by Greek diabolus. The Adversary is a designator in Zachariah III, Job I and II, but in I Chronicles XXI:1. By the 2nd century BC Satan and Devil are interchangeably and more or less equivalent to Azazel, Belial, Mastema, Satanail or Sotomail, Semiazas or Samyaza. In apocalyptic writings Satan becomes The tempter in the form of an Angel of light (Apocalypse of Moses XXI:3) and the introducer of Death (Book of wisdom II:24) and in rabbinic lore Satan emerges as the chief of fallen angels, named Samael, an archangel (minor deity) who was cast out of heaven. By the new testament Satan is the master of the kingdom of evil (hell) in a semi-dualist theology: he is opposed to God but not independent of God. The common modern conception of the devil lacks the “royal state” of Satan and is more like the Mephistopheles of Goethe and opera. |
3 | Scox | Duke of hell, liar and cheat. Also known as Chax. |
4 | Seir | A Lucifer as goat demon of Numbers XXIV:17-18. |
5 | Semiazas | As said above, the chief of fallen angels with Azazel based on Enoch VI:10, LXIX:2. |
6 | Seraphim | This term is used as an equivalent to “angels” but the Hebrew of numbers, Deuteronomy, and Isaiah means fiery dragons, winged serpents (their original form). This may account for fallen angels being associated with serpents and dragons, the sort of horrible creatures Herodotus reports seeing in Arabia and which always have been associated with the Ahriman (Angra Mainyu) principle of evil in Persian religion and its derivatives. From serpents, apparently, descend many “demons”, such as the Shedim (with claws) in Psalm CVI. The Bible says: battle. Though the bible says one ought not to suffer a witch to live, it contains advice on countering demons such as Shedim, Nazzikim, Lilim, Ruchoth etc., in countering which the sacred name of god in 12,42, or 72 syllables, is the purportedly very useful. |
U

1 | Ukobach | Boiler man of Hell, inventor of fireworks and frying. |
2 | Uphir | Pharmacist of Hell, dispenser to demons. |
3 | Urain | Leonard in Germany, where he presides at the sabbat on Mt. Brocken – “as a prince he receives us,” wrote Goethe in Faust. |
