The Etymology for Satan comes from one of two different languages. The Hebrew word which many believes it is stemmed from is הַשָׂטָן, or ha-satan, which means, "the adversary or the opponent." In Arabic it is stemmed from الشيطان, or ash-shaytan, which means, "the adversary." With either translation it is clear that in The Bible (more specifically the Old Testament) any translation of Satan is used as a descriptive title.
The word "ha" is a definite article (in Arabic it is "ash") which means "the." In the first 2 chapters of Job הַשָׂטָן,or ha-satan, is used 12 times. No instance uses the word שָׂטָן, or satan, which means that the definite article ascribes a sense of title. This means that Satan may not be the actual name of the creature but rather a description of the "Lucifer" figure.
