I was wondering because i had seen god's name in tetragrammaton and wondered if the devil also had an original name. On wikipedia they say he has names like "the tempter" but i mean a name other than lucifer or satan

There can't be an "Ancient Writing" of the name Satan because the name didn't exist until the 9th century CE. Lucifer was a flat out piece of 2nd hand plagiarism from Greek Mythology--the Romans stole the myth first.

No, the devil is a creation thru Christian writings. And for the record, the Horned One is not a demon or devil, he is the God of Hunting from the Paleolithic era. The Christians adopted the Horned God's appearance as the Christian devil or satan. So, no there are no ancient writings of the devil's name, only Christian writings of their names for their satan.

there is a Demon or Devil called Beelzebub, also title Horned One, then there are satyrs from Greek Mythology and a faun called Pan. think Devil legend thought up based on goat man.If the Devil had a name it has been forgotten. one could be thought up though Sixphron
