Does anyone remember prophecy of beast with thousand names or possible Mandela effect?

Your Mandella Affected misrememberation may have been attributed to the Gospel of Mark where Jesus is casting out a demon with a confusing name.
He asked him, “What is your name?” He replied, “Legion is my name. There are many of us.
At least that's what my mind immediately came up with when reading your question. "Beast" and "Devil" are pretty comparable in many people's minds. In any event, I think this is the only time a demon with a plurality of names is mentioned in the Bible and it may be the source of whatever it is you're looking for.

I've heard the phrase before. There is no reference in the Bible that states it or that can even construe it. However, the idea is popular in some end-times circles. It almost always refers to Nimrod of the Old testament. For example:
- The book, The Beast Who Once Was: New Insight into End Times Prophecy by Chris Relitz refers to Revelation 17:8 to identify the beast that "once was, now is not, and yet will come," identifying the "beast that once was" as Nimrod from the Old Testament and describing him as "the god with a thousand names."
This association is made because many associate Nimrod with various nationa/ethnic/religious gods of ancient times, inevitably ending with the Egyptian Osiris/Isis story.
Whether this is considered prophecy or not depends on which Christian denomination or tradition you adhere to.
