Lilith Hebrew a mythological female Mesopotamian storm demon associated with wind
and was thought to be a bearer of disease, illness, and death. The
figure of Lilith first appeared in a class of wind and storm demons or
spirits as Lilitu, in Sumer, circa 3000 BC. Many scholars place the
origin of the phonetic name "Lilith" at somewhere around 700 BC.
Lilith appears as a night demon in Jewish lore and as a screech owl in
the King James version of the Bible. She is also apocryphally the first
wife of Adam.
