Etymology
The word star-glory comes from two simple English words, star 'a bright point of light in the sky' and glory 'great beauty or praise'. Gardeners gave this name because the plant's small, star-shaped red flowers and quick-climbing vines make fences and gardens look very showy, so the name matches the plant.
