Lucifer is from Lux and Fero (or several other conjugations, but all with the same meaning); combining to mean 'bearer of light', and is a very old name. Lucifer matches were from the 1800s, named cleverly to integrate both the name and the fact that they smelled like Brimstone (sulfur) which was associated, in many religions, with the underworld. | |
