Meaning & History
From Ancient Greek Δημιουργός (#Demiourgos#) meaning "public worker" or "skilled worker" from the Greek elements #demos# "common people" and #ergos# "work". In the Gnostic system this is the name of the creator of the material world (and sometimes of evil), a deity inferior to the Supreme Being.
