I wasn't denying that, actually. Jeffrey Russell Burton speculated that "Mephistophiles" came from the Greek "Me" (not), "Phos" (light) and "Philos" (lover). Being reduced to just "Philos" (Pheles) makes the name just mean "lover", which relates to her character more than the full name.
I know it's a rule they're all named after creatures and beings of myth.
