Different authors often gave different ranks, powers, and stories to the same entity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even so, several names appeared repeatedly and became some of the most recognizable figures in demonological tradition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here are seven demonic names frequently found in medieval demonology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1.
