By definition, a polygon has three or more sides, so we'll start there.

3 -- trigon (more usually a triangle)

4 -- tetragon (more usually a quadrilateral)

5 -- pentagon

6 -- hexagon

7 -- heptagon

8 -- octagon

9 -- enneagon (also nonagon)

10 -- decagon

After about six sides, mathematicians usually refer to these polygons as n-gons, so a nine-sided figure could also be referred to as a 9-gon.
