It is named after a village in southern Macedonia, first recorded during the Ottoman period. If it comes from the Turkish word kütle it may have meant a group of people in a settlement or something along those lines. And that symbol has been found elsewhere in Macedonia, dated to the ancient Macedonian period. Whoever coined the phrase "star/sun of kutleš" spawned a generation of ignorance. It's the Macedonian sun.
