Why does Satan mean Eternal Truth? How did Satan get his name?

Did Satan change his name to Satan after becoming the known universe's first god because he wanted his name to mean 'truth'? Was he given that name at birth because he was assigned the role of being the first god by his parents or his society? I have heard many people here say that Satan means Eternal Truth in sanskrit, but that makes me wonder why he individually has that name. I am sure it's not supposed to just be a coincidence that he has such a name while also being the first god to come into existence.

So, in short order, here are the possible explanations I can think of:
1:He chose the name on purpose to give it the meaning of Truth.
2:He was given that name by his parents/society at large since that signified what he had become somehow.
3:'Destiny'. He was given the name Satan at birth, became a god later, and afterwards discovered what it truly meant. The least likely explanation in my opinion.
4:He was born with the name Satan, which used to not mean anything, but assigned it the meaning 'Eternal Truth' after becoming a god.
5:Something else i can't think of.

Are any of these explanations correct? From all i've read on the joyofsatan this is never fully explained, and it would help to get confirmation of the truth here.
 
uhh so many meaningless questions,why are people all of a sudden so Interested in Satan's personal life
 
ConsistentMeditator, you always feel to me like some kind of news journalist trying to get a lot of information about us for some kind of report about us. :? And doing this by asking a lot of very strange questions. You totally feel like some kind of news reporter.
 
Sanskrit is just the oldest language on this earth not the entire universe and I don’t thing that he just got one universal name but i believe that it was added by our ancestors during the ancient wars.
 
The God's use the names even to make us understand spirituality. Satan/Satanama/Satanas are the most powerful mantra's and they means really powerful things this is why the most important God has this name. I speculare that before when he was not a God he may not have this name but it was addes later because he is the most powerful of the God's. Keep in mind that these are just speculations.

That's not the reason, the reason is that it is hard to logically understand unless I know the origin of how the name came about. I don't understand why people state that his name means the eternal truth if they don't even know what that means. So I feel a need to know not because it is Satan's individual name, but because his name is supposed to have such an important meaning that is central to the whole belief system.

The reason is that I don't think all these things are fully explained to the extent that allows me to understand all the important variables. I don't really think this is that strange of a question. It comes up as a natural response when people use Satan=Truth as some kind of argument that is supposed to prove something, because that argument feels hollow and meaningless without further explanation. If they explained why that actually mattered, AKA, his name either coming to mean 'Truth' after he turns into a god, or him changing his name to Satan upon becoming a god because Satan already means Truth, it would make more sense to me, but this is never said. And I have looked at quite a number of the important articles here and on the joyofsatan site, yet these details are not explained anywhere in any of them, although I'd be glad to be wrong.

It is not because i am some sort of reporter, I just feel that much of the information is lacking depth and full logical explanation. It's hard to believe some of these things when nobody will give the explanation for important details.

I see, so you think he either changed his name to Satan or it's simply the name the ancestors of humans chose to call him by? So, does he call himself by another name that doesn't mean 'Eternal Truth'? Or is his private original name different than his official title he goes by as a god?

Seems like you have a similar explanation as Harry's. It seems like that'd make decent overall sense, it just bothers me that this is unexplained on the templeofzeus.org website and so on, unless i'm somehow misinterpreting it or not remembering the right parts of it.
