Question on the name Satan...

[richardlesterhailsatan11]

I've been told countless times that Satan in Sanskrit means Truth, but when I go to the Sanskrit Dictionary, it actually means Pizaca... Which translates to malevolent, devilish, fiend... or evil... Can anyone give me some insight into this?

You are using the dictionary backwards. PizAca means those things, and the author(s) of the dictionary has used the English word Satan to represent those things - what you need is the words Sat and Nam in Sanskrit, not the Sanskrit meaning of their English equivalents.
Also, I doubt this dictionary is complete, you cannot even search SatNam, it is not recognised.

You need to translate 'Sat' and 'An' separately.

Check out words satya - truth and devya - godhead
Thats all I found
