Ancient Babylonian myths were of the forefront with demons called Lilu. Since this name was also the word for wind, storms and darkness, depending on the context of its use, Lilu became the nocturnal demons that hunted and killed newborn babies and pregnant women, often times described in very bloody scenes. As time passed Lilu took on feminine forms. In Babylonian myth and in Hebrew myth Lilu became known as Lilitu. In turn Lilitu in the early Judaic period became Lilith.
