In modern and late Medieval Christian thought, Lucifer is usually a fallen angel commonly associated with Satan, the embodiment of evil and enemy of God. Lucifer is generally considered, based on the influence of Christian literature and legend, to have been a prominent archangel in heaven (although some contexts say he was a cherub or a seraph), prior to having been motivated by pride to rebel against God. When the angel failed, Lucifer was cast out of heaven, along with a third of the heavenly host, and came to reside on the world.

"Dajjal" is a common Arabic word, used in the sense of "false prophet". But "Al-Dajjal", with the definite article, refers to "The Impostor", a specific end-of time deceiver. It is worthy to note that the term Al-Masih Ad-Dajjal (Arabic for "The False Messiah") is a literal translation of the Syriac term "Meshiha Deghala", which had been in the common vocabulary of the Middle East for more than 400 years prior to the Quran via the Peshitta (which uses that term instead of the Greek "antichristos").

Isaiah 14:12 (NASB)
"How you have fallen from heaven,
O star of the morning, son of the dawn!
You have been cut down to the earth,
You who have weakened the nations!

Isaiah 14:12 (KJV)
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!

Lucifer is his name: Morning Star
Satan is what he is: Satan: 1. adversary. 2. Satan Psalm 109:6 (BDB Lexicon)

KJV Psalm 109:6 Set thou a wicked man over him: and let Satan stand at his right hand.

NAS Psalm 109:6 Appoint a wicked man over him; And let an accuser stand at his right hand.

The Hebrew word from my Bible program cannot be written here because this site does not support alternate languages not written in the English alphabet (but see the Arabic below), but it sounds out the way it is spelled in English: Satan, and it means accuser.

KJV Zechariah 3:1 And he shewed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the LORD, and Satan standing at his right hand to resist him.

NAS Zechariah 3:1 Then he showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the LORD, and Satan standing at his right hand to accuse him.

1 Peter 5:8 Be of sober spirit, be on the alert. Your adversary, the devil, prowls about like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.

al-Dajjal (Arabic: الدّجّال, al-dajjāl) ("The Deceiver/impostor"is an evil figure in Islamic eschatology, who will appear before Yawm al-Qiyamah (Resurrestion Day). He is similar to the Antichrist in Christianity

So, bottom line, they sound very much alike.

satan originates with Hebrew lore.

Lucifer was the Etruscan sun god, and later the god-figure for Italian witches, so the Church made Lucifer (literally, 'light-bringer') into their prince of darkness.
