In nomine Satanae or In nomine Satan. You have your choice because different Latin authors had different ideas about how to decline Hebrew names. Some treated "Satan" as a modified first-declension noun (Satanas, -ae, m.) and some declined to decline it at all, and used the single form Satan in all grammatical contexts.

How to say evil king in latin?

That depends on what you exactly mean. Maleficium means an evil deed, wickedness, crime, and malitia means badness. Malum, which is an adjective, can also mean evil as a substantive. Scelus is an evil deed or wickedness and is a much stronger word than a word like peccatum, which means a sin. Sceleritas is the act of committing an evil sin, or wickedness. Some latin words can mean both evil or an evil deed.The best might be malum, due to the Vulgate (and it is the closest in use to our word evil) and maleficium because in Medieval times maleficus and malefica meant a male witch and a female witch, but in a way in it meant harm, sorcery, or fraud, so, yay, malum might be best.
