I'm not sure you're right here. I don't think Lucius comes from 
Lucifer at all. Lucius was a very common personal name in Ancient 
rome and I doubt that would have been the case if it came from the 
name of satan. I'm not sure that the name Lucifer predates the name 
Lucius. Of course I could be wrong; my entire knowledge of ancient 
rome stems from Lindsey Davies novels.
