Best Answer

The "star shape" is a five-sided polygon formed by drawing lines between the vertices of the two farthest sides in a regular pentagon. The symbol of a star inscribed within a circle is a pentagram, which dates to several ancient religions.

At some time prior to the rise of the Greek civilization, the depiction of stars in the sky and their twinkling "points" became associated with 5-pointed or 6-pointed asterisks and with the related star shapes (flag star, Star of David).
