I will write the name as we know it- how its written in Hebrew- how it pronounced (only if it is any different)- the meaning. Hope you like it and it makes it more fun to understand for you!
Lucifer- לוציפר- technically came from the Christian interpretation of a quote from the bible that said something about the falling morning star. It was probably said as a proverb at the time, but got translated to an actual person lol and here we are. The falling morning star was written הילל בן שחר- Hilel Ben Shahar, I can go for hours on the different meanings it can be.
Mammon- ממון- pretty old word, not being as used, means some kind of wealth. If it's an actual used word, usually only in very official documents to describe monetary value or extreme wealth.
Leviathan- לוויתן- it is written the same in terms of pronunciation, but sounds different. You can copy how I wrote it in Hebrew and listen in google translate. Everyday word, literally means whale.
Satan- שטן- written the same, pronounced slightly differently. Means the devil. Demons by the way are called שדים- shedim, but if you say only demon- שד in a slightly different emphasis on a letter and its a boob. Just a fun fact
Asmodeus- אשמדאי- Ashmedai He doesn't really come from the Jewish bible but as far as I remember was described in different writings and then later added to the inscription. Supposed to be at some point the kind of demons, and was controlled for a period by king Solomon. There's no specific meaning in the name in Hebrew.
Beelzebub- בעל זבוב- Baal Zvuv Literally means owner of flies, or controller of flies in some cases, he was described in some parts in the bible, usually to mock the god of Pegan religion nearby, or to describe priests who came to shoo away the flies from an upcoming sacrifice? Baal is also often refers to a husband, btw.
Belphegor- בעל פעור- Baal Paur Now this is an interesting one, since if pronounced as it is written in English, Phegor can mean carcass which is a bit more related to Beel's name. But in the bible Baal Paur was described to be one of the Pagan gods who had a disgusting job I refuse to describe.
Simeon- שמעון- Shimon a commonly used name, less nowadays though. In my opinion, in Hebrew it's one of the least sexiest name since it's very throaty. But that's my taste. The meaning is from the word "Shama שמע" which means heard, heard by god in the way they referred it to. Shimon was one of the kids of a famous figure in the bible.
Solomon- שלמה- Shlomo Everyone probably know the name of king Solom the wise. Very common name for what now is the middle-aged generation, the rural you go in Israel the more common the name is lol. My opinion of it is the same as Shimon.
Raphael and Michael are both known too, and pronounced pretty much the same, though Michael is more like Mikhael, מיכאל, his name means high praise to the god.
Raphael sounds the same, written רפאל, Rafael, Rafa usually means healing.
For all the angels that have "EL" in the end- El means god. So it's healing from god, protection from god and so on.
Luke is from the Christian version, so I leave it be.
Barbatos, Mephisto, Diavolo, don't really have relation from what I can remember to the Jewish bible or Hebrew nor do they have a translation into any specific words. The more I think about the more it makes me appreciate how well they have written the story, only the angels and the fallen ones have names that has a meaning in Hebrew while the demons retain their original form... Or maybe I am reading too much to it... Anyway I had fun thinking about all of this and writing this, and hope you enjoy it too.
I presume the water has already been consumed. yes? :)
Woahhhh so much I didn't know about this stuff!
Lucifer our fallen morning star... there's something so poetic about that, even if it is a mistranslation and it was never meant to be an actual being.
Also Belphegor I mean Belphie can be like a carcass when he's dead asleep, right?? LOL.
I wonder why they chose the name Simeon? Heard by god, but is he? I'm always hesitant to think they've got any deeper meanings to these things just because this game is not exactly known for that kind of thing. But I can't help but wonder about it.
Huh that's super interesting that the demons that have always been demons don't have the same origin as the angels or fallen angels. I mean, maybe they didn't do that on purpose, but it's cool either way! I've always loved that Diavolo is just devil in Italian! I can't remember about Mephisto aside from Faust, like I don't know if he's in something else Bible adjacent or not. Barbatos is in the Ars Goetia but that's all I know about that lol. I know very little about these things in general.
Thank you so much for writing this and sharing it with me! I'm always interested in this kind of stuff!
And um yes water, right. I am gonna go do that... right... nooooow lol.

נכון השיר של אפונה וגזר ישבו במקרר? ואז יש את השורה של משהו כמו "קר לי ברגליים" "אז תדליק את המנורה בקיר"? רק עכשיו הבנתי שבשביל להדליק את המנורה בקיר צריך לפתוח את הדלת, כי האור נדלק כשהדלת נפתחת. ואז הקור בורח החוצה

הבעיה שלי עם עברית זה שאפשר לשנות את סדר המילים במשפט בשביל להישמע חכם אבל לפעמים אתה מגיע לרמה שאתה כבר לא בטוח אם אתה נשמע חכם או מדבר כמו יודה

I just had the horrifying relazione that if I live to be 90 I will witness people turning 30 in the 90’s. Meaning those people will be able to sing 30/90 and mean and relate to every word.

A list of celebrities who are confirmed to have watched supernatural/be a fan of it:
Beelzebub, the lord of the flies, a Philistine god sometimes identified by Jews and Christians with Satan
From בַּעַל (baʿal, “lord, master; Baal”) + זְבוּב (zvuv, “fly”, the insect), appearing in the Hebrew Scriptures as the purported name of a deity worshipped by the Philistines in Ekron. It's likely this was not the god's actual name and instead was a polemic against the deity, possibly by associating the figure with defecation (hence flies).
בגלל שריבלגת מלא דברים של חניבעל לרגע לא הייתי בטוחה אם אני בבלוג הראשי (הפאניבלי) שלי או בבלוג העברי חחחח
סורי על הבלבול חחחחחחפעם ב אני נזכרת באיזושהי סדרה שאני אוהבת ואז אני מפציצה את כל העוקבים האומללים שלי במלא ריבלוגים של דברים שקשורים לסדרה אבל לפחות הפעם זה היה קשור למשהו שאת אוהבת (אני מניחה) ✨
אני אשתמש בצלמוות!! הסתכלתי על זה עוד קצת והבנתי שזו חשיכה כבדה מאוד, כמו מוות, זה מתאים להרגשה שהיצור נותן וגם לעובדה שאלה אנשים שכבר מתו ולעובדה שהם שואפים לקחת את העיניים. באנגלית זה יהיה tselmavet? או שכדאי לשייף לselmavet, ואם מדברים על הרבה כאלה אז זה יהיה selmavets או sileimavet או slaleimavet או בכלל selmetim ? מה דעתך?
