I wonder how Tolkien would’ve thought about the use of LotR names being used by all these AI and tech companies.. especially since they all seem to use the names of things that were corrupted by darkness.
Ehh it's Old Norse and tied to Norse mythology and its exact etymology is not clear, and Lucifer was the Roman name of the planet Venus. Christianity does not get to define the words it steals.
