The word Ash-Shayṭān (Arabic: الشيطان) originates from Hebrew. However, Arabic etymology relates the word to the root š-ṭ-n ("distant, astray") that originates from the Abrahamic religions. Originally, the term was used like a title for different entities (humans, angels, etc.) that challenged the religious faith of humans in the Hebrew Bible. After that, the term Ash-Shaytan has been used as a name for the Devil.
