An octahedron is a closed 3-d shape with 8 polygonal faces. There are 257 topologically different convex octahedra. Each of these, being a different shape, has a different name. Some of the names are simple, for example,
- a regular octahedron (also known as a square-based dipyramid or triangular antiprism)
- heptagon-based pyramid
- hexagon-based prism
but there are also names such as the tridiminished icosahedron or the gyrobifastigium.

How many faces vertices and edges in a octahedron?
An octahedron is a closed 3-d shape with 8 polygonal faces. There are 257 topologically different convex octahedra. An octahedron has 8 faces (as the name implies). It can have 6 to 12 vertices and 12 to 18 edges.
Where did the name octahedron come from?
A polyhedron is closed a 3-dimensional figure whose faces are all polygons. The prefix "octa-" refers to eight and an octahedron is a polyhedron with 8 faces.
