Meaning and background
The story behind Mazikeen
Mazikeen is a modern character name used in DC's Sandman and Lucifer stories. Its construction echoes Hebrew mazziqin, a term for harmful spirits, rather than a word for a modern quality such as fearlessness. DC documents the character's connection with Lilith and Lucifer, while an onomastic source supplies the linguistic explanation. As a dog name it has a distinctive, lengthy rhythm and a very specific fictional background.
