Wikipedia extract
The Luciferians were a Christian faction in the latter half of the 4th century. They were named by their opponents after Bishop Lucifer of Cagliari, known for his strong opposition to Arianism in the 350s, but they rejected the label. Scholars often still employ it for convenience.
