About Lucifer: Lucifer used to be just one of the names of the planet Venus ("the Star of the Morning"), and originally lacked any evil connotation. There were people, even Christian people, even priests and bishops, whose name was Lucifer...

The evil connotations of the name Lucifer came from the association between the planet Venus and sexy deities like Venus, Aphrodite, Astarte, Astarot, Isthar and Inanna (all of them largely either versions of the same deity or at least inspired on the same source...). Since sex was deemed as evil, the sex goddess was assimilated to the Devil...

As for Satan, his origin is different. He was an angel; not a fallen angel, but a faithful servant of God, whose job was to act as the accuser in God's court (hence he was an enemy of humans, but not of God). He was later turned into a demon at the same time God got increasingly nicer traits...

The origin of Yahweh is kinda difficult to track, since the Hebrews used to be an small nomadic group that didn't write about their religion or history for a long time, and more advanced, powerful societies didn't bother writing about them, but we do know that they were already known as the "Bedouins of Yahweh" in Egypt, and that, after entering in Caanaan, Yahweh sorta fused with the great god El (Elohim is the plural of El).
