In Latin, the name Lucifer means 'light bearer.'
You are right! And as much as I hate to admit this being Left handed AS is Obama..
were you aware that in Latin sinister is the left hand, that is, the wrong hand. Furthermore, left-handers were thought to be unlucky.
In Roman augury, or fortune telling, birds that appeared on the left side were interpreted as being bad luck; however, those on the right side presaged good luck. Now, in modern English applications, sinister means evil or ominous.
