Lilitu is a female Mesopotamian night demon with a penchant for killing male children. Hebrew Lilith is either cognate with, or loaned from, Akkadian. In Isaiah 34:14, Lilith is a kind of night-demon or animal, translated as onokentauros, a kind of apelike demon, in the Septuagint, as lamia "witch" by Hieronymus of Cardia, and as screech owl in the KJV. In the Talmud and Midrash, Lilith appears as a night demon. The idea of Lilith as the first wife of Adam arose in the Middle Ages.
