Best Answer

The names have different origins:

  • Satan is a "legal" term for an entity in Heaven acting primarily as an accuser and adversary, pointing out to God the sins of humans
  • Lucifer is the name given for the angel that guarded God's throne, who decided he wanted to replace God and take the throne for himself (Muslims have a different interpretation of this)
  • Beelzebub is actually a corruption of the name of one of the Canaanite gods, who was properly named "Baal Zebur", meaning "the Lord on High". The corruption was meant as a form of ridicule, since "Baal Zebub" means "the Lord of the Flies".
