The term "legion" comes from the Romans, and it refers generally to the solders who were Roman citizens. In its usage in the New Testament, it is used merely to express that there were too many to bother counting, as in, "We are called Legion, for we are many." In layman's terms, it is similar to our usage of "bunch."
A group of demons is commonly referred to as a "legion" or a "horde."

His real name is not given, but the devils inside him called him Legion when Jesus asked his name: Mark 5.9. And he asked him, What [is] thy name? And he answered, saying, My name [is] Legion: for we are many.
Legion as the proper name of the demons possessing the man - two times in most versions. As a noun describing this demon and the number of those in a fighting force, then it is commonly four.
In Mark 5:9 Legion is a Demon that Christ exorcised. The demon said: "My name is Legion; for we are many." This is a reference to the Roman Legions, as there were many soldiers in them. The Demon represents the fact that we all have many problems within us, and that Christ can help us solve them (alternatively it only means that Demons live in people that are super strong and crazy and that Christ alone can remove them)Legion is 5,000 to 10,000 soldiers in a Roman regiment that's how the demons in the new testament defined themselves to Jesus.
Some good movies about heaven and hell, demons, and angels include "Constantine," "The Prophecy," "Legion," "This is the End," and "Hellboy."

In various religious and spiritual beliefs, exorcised demons, such as Legion from the New Testament, are often thought to be cast out of the possessed individual and sent to a place of confinement or punishment. In the biblical account, Legion was expelled into a herd of pigs, which subsequently drowned in a lake. This suggests that exorcised demons may seek new hosts or be eliminated, depending on the narrative. Ultimately, their fate varies based on the theological or cultural context in which the exorcism occurs.
Some of the names of biblical angels include Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael. Some of the names of biblical demons include Satan, Beelzebub, and Legion.
Mary Magdalene (Luke 8:2) There was also a man who had a 'legion' of demons posessing him, and Jesus healed him too (Mark 5:2-10)
A:Jesus asked the wild man at Gadarene his name, but the demons replied, saying 'Legion', a play on words because legionmeans a great many. Jesus called the demons out of the man and into 5000 pigs, which ran down a steep mountain into the sea and drowned, a totally superfluous means of ridding the man of his demons. Denis R. MacDonald believes this story is really a deliberate reversal of a similar passage in Homer's Odyssey, when Polyphemus asked Odysseus for his name and he replied, 'Nobody'. On MacDonald's view, there were no demons or pigs, and nothing happened to them.
