I found the following information, (Google Dip Herp):
"Lucifer is a poetic name for the "morning star", a close translation of the Greek eosphoros, the "dawn-bringer" (son of Eos, "dawn"), which appears in the Odyssey and in Hesiod's Theogony.
The link where I found this also refers to the Roman and Isaias origins:

I think he is also related to the Greek Mythology:
