According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satan, it means "Accuser" and "Adversary". Apparently (according to my foggy memories of a video essay about some high-art film) Satan was originally just the dude that would accuse you of all your sins you committed while mortal.

Let me guess, he got concerned about job security when all those monotheistic religions and their high horse morals developed and so he decided to actively prop up the supply side?
