Sunday after the sun,Monday after the moon .Wednesday after Odin or Wodin. Thursday after Thor. Friday after Frigga ,Odin's Wife. Tuesday and Saturday ?
The seven days of the week are derived from the Latin language and are usually associated with seven planets. Sunday/sun, Monday/moon, Tuesday/Mars, Wednesday/Mercury, Thursday/Jupiter, Friday/Venus and Saturday/Saturn. Though from an English perspective, it seems strange to come up with these names from the names of these planets, the week day names come from the Latin version names of these planets and/or the gods/goddess' associated with them.
The names of the days of the week come from a mix of historical and cultural influences. For example, Sunday is derived from the Sun, Monday from the Moon, Tuesday from the Norse god Tyr, Wednesday from the Norse god Odin, Thursday from the Norse god Thor, Friday from the Norse goddess Frigg, and Saturday from the Roman god Saturn.
