Why is the Star of David named after David?

Answer 1 The Star of David is a generally recognized symbol of Jewish identity and Judaism. It is named after King David of ancient Israel; and its earliest known comm…unal usage began in the Middle Ages, alongside the more ancient symbol of the menorah. In Hebrew its name is Magen David, meaning Shield of David. That term is a euphemism for God in the Jewish prayer book because God shielded the Biblical David in battle and during his flight from Saul. Answer 2 In ancient Hebrew, the letters of the alphabet looked much different looking than today. In fact, the letter 'D' (Dalet) closely resembled a triangle. Tradition states that the Star of David was formed by combining the first and last letters of David's name (which in ancient Hebrew were two triangles) . Because the ancient Hebrew letter for 'D' was a triangle, the resulting image of two letter 'D's placed together (with one of them upside down) would be the Star of David. This can be seen as follows: First Ancient Hebrew Letter 'D' in David's Name- an upward-pointing triangle Last Ancient Hebrew Letter 'D' in David's Name- a downward-pointing triangle The Star of David- two ancient Hebrew letters for 'D', which looked almost exactly like triangles, with one of them drawn upside down to signify the last letter. Numerous online sources concur with this explanation, although no one 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 is the 4th Hebrew letter 'dalet' and could be described as having the appearance of a triangle... It is most probable that the Israelites would have chosen to use the Star of David, which is composed of the first and last letters of King David's name. Notice how the symbol might have appeared if the second 'dalet' would be inverted and then combined into one common symbol. Since David had such a great reputation; his mark would certainly have been an effective symbol. - The Star of David, by Larry Perino, Rivkah Ministries The "six pointed star" is made up of two inverted superimposed paleo-Hebrew "daleths" (delets), the beginning and ending letter in King David's name. - The Star of David - Defending the Shield, Flying Chariot Ministries The combination triangles of the Star of David, (sometimes called the "Shield of David") goes back David himself, the formation of the triangles having been taking from the ancient Hebraic signature of King David. The 3 letters of his name, Daled, Waw, Daled, by extension compose a double triangle. Thus it is representative of Messiah. In the modem Hebrew aleph-bet (alphabet), the 'd' sound is represented by the dalet, which looks like a backward 'r'. In the ancient Hebrew alephbet, the dalet looked like a triangle. The Star of David (also called the Shield of David) was made up of 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 a family crest of the House of David. The crest was supposedly created by the way the name, David, would have been spelled with Hebrew 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 in the literature, that King David adopted this form as his emblem because of its special form which fitted his name. In ancient Hebrew (Daatz writing) the letter "d" (dalet) was written in the form 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)

Why does the star of david has 6 point?

One of the most remarkable aspects of the Star of David has to do with its basic outline and geometric form. To be specific, the Davidic hexagram consists of 6 equal point…s (mini-triangles) surrounding 1 central hexagon 'much larger' in size. This provides an exact symbolic representation of the first 6 days (of the week) plus the 1 'much more important' day of rest on the Sabbath (7th) day. 6 External Points + 1 Central Hexagon = 7 Parts to the Star of David 6 Creating Days + 1 Day of Rest = 7 Days of Creation 6 Archangels + 1 Commander Michael = 7 Archangels of God 6 Biblical Visitors + 1 King David = 7 Days of Sukkot (a Jewish Holiday) 6 Orbiting Planets + 1 Central Sun = 7 Spheres of Astrology So the 'much larger' hexagon can readily be matched to the 'much more important' Sabbath day of rest. This enduring tradition of rest on the 7th day makes it fundamentally different from the other 6 days of the 7 day week. To summarize, the 6 +1 = 7 formula is an essential part of the Judeo/Christian preference for the number 7. Yes, the number 7 could well be considered to be the most sacred and important number of the Biblical tradition, but it's also true that a 6 +1 understanding of the number 7 represents the ultimate Judeo/Christian insight. Numerous online sources attest to this- Six pointed star- Each point represents the days of the week (Monday to Saturday or the 6 days of Creation) the hexagon in the center represents the Sabbath (seventh day) A lesser known name is Creator's Star. - Star of David, Spiritual-how-to.com The Star of David is sometimes known as the Creator's Star, in which each of the six points represents a day of the week and the center corresponds to the Sabbath. - Star of David, Byzant.com There are several interpretations of the meaning of the Star of David. Most frequently, the star is associated with the number Seven (derived from the six points plus the center). This number...can be noted in several examples including the six days of Creation plus the Seventh day of rest, as well as the Seven Archangels of God. - Star of David, New World Encyclopedia Many commentators have suggested that the message of the Star of David is linked to the number seven by way of its six points surrounding the center...In short, the world is holy, a place in which man and everything else created in the six days has the potential to revolve and evolve around its center, its core and its Creator. The Sabbath, the seventh day every week, is a reminder of this concept. - The Star of David and the Mosque, by Rabbi Benjamin Blech, Aish.com (MORE)

Is the Pentagram the Star of Solomon or the Star of David?

I don't think it is the seal of solomon and it is definitely not the Star of David, which has 6 points, not 5
