Actually, in the Hebrew language, "Satan" isn't even a name. It's Europeans that made a name out of it. This leads to a ridiculous translation of the Bible where Jesus says to Peter, "Get behind me, Satan." Really, he said, "Get behind me, adversary."

Arabic and Hebrew are often pretty similar. As it says there, in Hebrew it's satan and isn't a name at all. Actually, if you read the gospels you find them referring to the devil as Beelzebub (Lord of the Flies), and this name is rarely used among English speakers.
