Lucifer comes from the usage of the Hebrew word helel, which was actually a title of an ancient Babylonian... king? I think it was a king. Some ruler. Anyway, the concept of Lucifer is an invention dating back to the biblical interpretations caused by the division of the Christian faith after the fall of Rome and it's later unification into the Roman Catholic Church. According to most readings (though I think there's a major division with the esoteric Kabbalah practices), Lucifer was an archangel who fell (for various reasons depending on the denomination) from grace. Lucifer, the name and concept, is definitely a Christian idea though.

Oh,and since Rafael came up, that was the third archangel to gain prominence in Christian history. He's from the Book of Tobit and generally represents Joy and miracles. But don't all angels? I'm pretty sure he popped up in the writing of Ezekiel, as most of the angels did. For example, Chayot from Noodle's post hails from there.
