DAYS OF THE WEEK

The origin of the names of the days of the week




SUNDAY


Old English Sunnandæg, meaning "sun's day". This is a translation of the Latin phrase dies Solis.
The Romance languages, have changed its name to the equivalent of "the Lord's day" (based on Latin dies Dominica).




MONDAY



Old English Mōnandæg, meaning "moon's day". This is likely based on a translation of the Latin name dies lunae.



TUESDAY


Tiw, the god of War
One day of the week was called after him, and to this day we still call it Tuesday. 


Old English Tiwesdæg, meaning "Tiw's day." Tiw was a one-handed god associated with single combat and pledges in Norse mythology . 
 In romance languages is based on Latin dies Martis, "Day of Mars" (the Roman war god)




WEDNESDAY


WODAN (ODIN)



Old English Wodnesdæg, meaning the day of the Germanic god Wodan (later known as Óðinn among the North Germanic peoples), and a prominent god of the Anglo-Saxons (and other Germanic peoples) in England until about the seventh century. It is based on Latin dies Mercurii, "Day of Mercury". Both Wodan and Mercury were considered leaders of souls, in their respective mythologies.




THURSDAY







Old English Þunresdæg, meaning the Þunor's day. Þunor is commonly known, thanks to comics, in Modern English as Thor, the god of thunder in Germanic Paganism. In Romance it is based on the Latindies Iovis, "day of Jupiter”.




FRIDAY

Old English Frigedæg, meaning the day of the Anglo-Saxon goddess Fríge. The Norse name for the planet Venus was Friggjarstjarna, 'Frigg’s star'. It is based on the Latin dies Veneris, "Day of Venus".






SATURDAY








 The only day of the week to retain its Roman origin in English, named after the Roman god Saturn, father of Zeus and many Olympians. Its original Anglo-Saxon rendering was Sæturnesdæg. In Latin it was dies Saturni, "Day of Saturn"; The Spanish comes from Sabbata dies (Day of the Sabbath)
