If you compare their names, use it with one method, not because one name means this and the other name sounds like this. Lets just stick to what their names mean.

佐天 = Saten

佐=Sa=Help/Assist

天=Ten=Heavenly

So no, Saten's name doesn't have anything to do with evil.

Also read what was on Touma's etymology section

"​On its own, Touma's name spelled in kanji doesn't mean anything special. However, when spelled by others it yields interesting results.

When Touma first meets Kanzaki Kaori she believes his name means (神浄討魔) in kanji as opposed to (上条当麻). Kaori's interpretation translates to One that purifies God and exorcises the Devil[1]

In volume 14, Touma's family name 'Kamijou' (上条) can be translated as The person superior to God (La persona superiore a Dio) (神上) in Japanese. The author's Afterword section also mentions a tantalizing hint on what the difference is between these two possible alternative translations of Touma's name.

Another interesting case is that Touma's given name can be spelled as (透魔), which can be translated as Invisible Demon."

If anything, it would make more sense to say it's the other way around
