According to ancient Semitic folklore, Lilith was a female demon
or vampire who lived in desolate places. According to Jewish
mythology, Lilith was the first wife of Adam, before the
creation of Eve. There's a very interesting story connected with
this as well.

According to other legends, Lilith was the first creation of
Luficer, known as the God of Light or The Shining One. Lucifer
is also reputed to be the father of Lilith's twin daughters who
became the consorts of the Angels who were cast out of heaven
with Lucifer. This all occurred before Lucifer invented evil
as the antithesis of life and became Satan.

Lilith and all of her offspring were all decreed to be of
the female sex by their father, Luficer. Lilith and all of
the Daughters of Lilith were stunningly beautiful creatures
who totally captured the souls, attention, etc of all mortal
men who were fortunate (or unfortunate, depending upon your
point of view) to gaze upon them. Thus, Lilith stole men
away from their wives, girlfriends, and/or lovers. Anyone
who has worked upon a Lilith can appreciate how well a
Lilith can totally capture your imagination! Thus, the name
for this computer.
