'wye' (=Y) is mainly used in the US, 'star' in GB
'Y-grec' is sometimes found in FR too, but in my experience, 'étoile' is commoner.

: Of course lots of things can be 'Y-shaped' — but this is specific terminology relating to 3-phase electricity, where we talk about star/delta connection — and we certainly don't refer to it as 'D-shaped'!
