Useless trivia, but lucifer means “light bringer” in Latin (translation from the Greek phosphoros).

Also known as the morning star, also known as Venus.

There’s also the nocturnal / sunset aspect of Venus, noctifer/hesperus, so the evening star.

It all ebbs and flows so I guess everyone is right:)

(Also this not a uniquely Roman or Greek invention ofc)
