Why is the Star of David named after David?

Answer 1 The Star of David is a generally recognized symbol ofJewish identity and Judaism. It is named after King David ofancient Israel; and its earliest known communal usa…ge began in theMiddle Ages, alongside the more ancient symbol of the menorah. InHebrew its name is Magen David, meaning Shield of David. That termis a euphemism for God in the Jewish prayer book because Godshielded the Biblical David in battle and during his flight fromSaul. Answer 2 In ancient Hebrew, the letters of the alphabet looked muchdifferent looking than today. In fact, the letter 'D' (Dalet)closely resembled a triangle. Tradition states that the Star ofDavid was formed by combining the first and last letters ofDavid's name (which in ancient Hebrew were two triangles) . Becausethe ancient Hebrew letter for 'D' was a triangle, the resultingimage of two letter 'D's placed together (with one of them upsidedown) would be the Star of David. This can be seen asfollows: . First Ancient Hebrew Letter 'D' in David's Name - anupward-pointing triangle . Last Ancient Hebrew Letter 'D' in David's Name - adownward-pointing triangle . The Star of David - two ancient Hebrew letters for'D', which looked almost exactly like triangles, with one of themdrawn upside down to signify the last letter. Numerous online sources concur with this explanation, although noone will ever know for sure. Here is a list of sources: The Letters of David's Name Notice that the first and the last letters of the name David isthe 4th Hebrew letter 'dalet' and could be described as having theappearance of a triangle... It is most probable that the Israelites would have chosen to usethe Star of David, which is composed of the first and last lettersof King David's name. Notice how the symbol might have appeared ifthe second 'dalet' would be inverted and then combined into onecommon symbol. Since David had such a great reputation; his markwould certainly have been an effective symbol. - The Star of David, by Larry Perino, Rivkah Ministries The "six pointed star" is made up of two invertedsuperimposed paleo-Hebrew "daleths" (delets), the beginning andending letter in King David's name. - The Star of David - Defending the Shield, Flying ChariotMinistries The combination triangles of the Star of David, (sometimescalled the "Shield of David") goes back David himself, theformation of the triangles having been taking from the ancientHebraic signature of King David. The 3 letters of his name, Daled,Waw, Daled, by extension compose a double triangle. Thus it isrepresentative of Messiah. In the modem Hebrew aleph-bet(alphabet), the 'd' sound is represented by the dalet, which lookslike a backward 'r'. In the ancient Hebrew alephbet, the daletlooked like a triangle. The Star of David (also called the Shield of David) was made upof these two triangular dalets. - Anoint the Magen David, Tom Campbell, AngelFire One theory, of the origin of the Star of David, is that it was afamily crest of the House of David. The crest was supposedlycreated by the way the name, David, would have been spelled withHebrew letters specifically using the letter which is called Dalet.(Hebrew Alphabet). - Star of David - Creation Star, BreadStixDesigns Israeli Researcher Uri Ofir mentions a theory which is found inthe literature, that King David adopted this form as his emblembecause of its special form which fitted his name. In ancientHebrew (Daatz writing) the letter "d" (dalet) was written in theform of a triangle and in the name David there are two triangles(two characters of d)... - Phoenician alphabet, by Zeevveez, Star-of-david at Blogspot (MORE)
