Lucifer comes from Hebrew word Halal. It means a bright boasting. Lucifer was a beautiful winged cherubim. He was beautiful with instruments, etc. Yet He tried to usurp God, & got in trouble from God for it. God told Him that He would no longer be the Halal but the Terror. Lucifer is the fallen star.
Jesus Christ is the bright & morning star. Jesus Christ has risen from the dead victorious over death & hell. Jesus said that He saw a star fall from heaven & that star is not of Him.

Wanna know something weird?
Satan is reffered to as the morning star in the book of Isiah, right?
Isaiah 14:12
How you have fallen from heaven, O morning star, son of the dawn! You have been cast down to the earth, you who once laid low the nations!
And indeed, in the KJV it says
How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!
But! there is another morning star! in the book of revelations.
Revelation 22:16
"I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give you this testimony for the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, and the bright Morning Star."
Jesus says he's the morning star!
SO! the NIV bible has given the same title to both Jesus and Satan......... but the KJV (more widely accepted as best translated and closets to original) does not. Where did the NIV, as well as many other tranlations, get that title from?

Lucifer or its equivalents were often used to refer to Venus when it appears shortly before dawn.
However, despite later Christian tradition, the verse in Isaiah that talks about the morning star is really talking about a Babylonian prince.

Just that Lucifer was a created archangel that committed the original sin and was cursed for all eternity and Venus is a mythological entitiy constructed by man.

Lucifer was originally a Latin word meaning "light-bearer" (from lux, "light", and ferre, "to bear, bring"), a Roman astrological term for the "Morning Star", the planet Venus.
