A polygon can have 8 sides but does not have to.
The word "Polygon" is made up of two words: "poly-" and "-gon" which have Greek roots which mean "many" and "angle" respectively; literally a "polygon" is a "many angled shape".
A polygon is any shape that has 3 or more sides.
An 8 sided polygon is called an octagon (literally "eight angles").
