Another possibility for the origin of "Rofocal" is intimately connected to the very nature of Lucifuge. As Lucifuge is the reverse of Lucifer (Latin for "light bearer"), so is the name "Rofocal" derived from "Lucifer" reversed – that is, "Reficul;" however, as not much is known about this demon, this is also simply speculation. | Another possibility for the origin of "Rofocal" is intimately connected to the very nature of Lucifuge.

==Textual history== | |||
Two grimoires contain the primary source information concerning Lucifuge Rofocale: | |||
* ''[[Grimoire of Pope Honorius]]'' | |||
* ''[[The Grand Grimoire]]'' | |||
However, both texts have dubious authorship with claimed dates of publication far earlier than their actual first appearance in print. Therefore, it is difficult to determine which was the original source. There are minor differences between the two texts, each showing a different summoning seal for Lucifuge, but on the whole, they agree with the method for summoning him and the demon's abilities. | |||
