A list of devil names from different sources, the following list has been compiled using both traditional and non-traditional names for the devil gathered from different religions, mythologies and lore. These devil names are both common and uncommon with many of them being biblical.
The word "devil" is believed to have been derived from the word diabolos, which means "slanderer" or "false accuser." Though many fear the idea of the devil being a diabolical creature, it is really just an allegory that represents the ego, a false perception of "self" that wars within all humanity. This battle that rages within mankind is often depicted as the devil sitting on one shoulder and an angel on the other.

More About the Devil and You
The devil, or satan, are biblical metaphors that depict the fallen mindset of humanity, especially representing the times we succumb to thoughts of fear, condemnation, guilt, etc. This suffering is held forth within the mind that has been allowed to empower mental constructs of either past or future - always keeping the victim away from the present.
All of us have fallen victim to this tormentor and, by design, the repetitive mental patterns are meant for our learning. The thoughts that are produced by this 'devil' could also be considered to be its 'demons' in an allegorical sense. And, this thief can strengthen in a person to the point of becoming a possessing entity.
