"Satan" does not refer to a demonic figure. The direct translation of "Satan" in Hebrew is: "Evil voice", refering to Humans being evil. Using that basic name, a Demonic figure that is part of Christianity arose, that besides it's name is completely non-Abrahamic. The various mythologies that gave rise to "Satan" include, but are not limited to;

Germanic Tribal Religions (largest influence in the concept of "Satan").

Helenism.

Zoroastrianism (which is extremely dualistic).

As such, "Satan" is a combination of a bastardised Hebrew word (which translates to the evils of Humanity) and various combined mythologies.
