Phosphorus

This name derives from the Ancient Greek “phōsphóros (φωσφόρος),” composed of two elements: “phôs (φῶς)” (light, especially daylight) plus “phérō (φέρω)” (to bring, bear, carry). In turn, the name means “light-bringer, the one who takes the light.” Hesperus in Latin is the planet Venus in its morning appearance. The Latin word Lucifer, corresponding to Greek Eosphóros (Ἐωσφόρος), used as a name for the morning star and thus appeared in the Vulgate translation of the Hebrew word (helel), meaning “Venus as the brilliant, bright or shining one.”
