Best Answer

Because most Spanish-speaking countries are predominately Roman Catholic, and the Roman Catholic church teaches that the Sabbath is Sunday. But The Bible says the Sabbath is the seventh day. So in order to make Sunday the seventh day they start the calendars with Monday.

So, why is Saturday in Spanish a cognate for Sabath? It is called Sabado.
