you have to remember the passage is allegorical so the imagery in the allegory may not necessarily be how things went. This is similar to Ezekiel 28 which is like how the Isaiah text is directed to the King of Babalyon, Ezekiel is directed to the King of Trye but both are thought to be allegories for Satan. We know these are allegories because 1. they are explicitly about someone else and from images like saying God lives on a mountain. These should be looked at as broad strokes not fine detail.
Ezekiel has no Latin names but there are verses that stand out
v7-8,12-17 ...and pierce your shining splendor. They will bring you down to the pit ... You were the seal of perfection, full of wisdom and perfect in beauty. You were in Eden, the garden of God ... You were anointed as a guardian cherub, for so I ordained you ... You were blameless in your ways from the day you were created till wickedness was found in you ... Through your widespread trade you were filled with violence, and you sinned. So I drove you in disgrace from the mount of God, and I expelled you, guardian cherub ... you corrupted your wisdom because of your splendor. So I threw you to the earth
so if you're looking for more Latin words in your vocabulary try looking up some of those, they are just as meaningful to call Satan any of these names as it is to call him Lucifer.
up until the 16 century before English translations came out and before the printing press was invented (mid 15th century) Latin was the only language of the church (the western church, ie Rome), it still continued after this but the Reformation split it up quite a bit. People favouring Latin words as somehow more important would make sense because the church favoured it and it became a holy language but that's just silliness and is a form of folk-Christianity or a pagan value
I do believe you've nailed it my friend...
Excerpt:
["Your heart became proud on account of your beauty, and you corrupted your wisdom because of your splendor.” Lucifer apparently became so impressed with his own beauty, intelligence, power, and position that he began to desire for himself the honor and glory that belonged to God alone. The sin that corrupted Lucifer was self-generated pride.]
