Days of the week

The names of the days of the week in various world languages can be classified as
either numerical or planetary. The names of one or more days may have been changed
for religious reasons. For instance Sunday is often named "Lord's Day" while
Saturday is often named Day of Rest "Sabbath" or "washing day" in the nordic
countries. Numerically named days may associate day one with Sunday as in Hebrew,
Arabic and Portuguese, or may associate day one with Monday as in Chinese and
Slavic languages.

Planetary names for the days are derived from the Sun, Moon, and five visible planets
(Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, and Saturn), each of which was associated with a
Greco-Roman deity. The Germanic languages, including English, substitute
indigenous Germanic gods with similar characteristics for many of the Roman deities.

The English names for the days of the week derive from the Anglo-Saxon deities
stemming from the native paganism of the Anglo-Saxons. An exception to this is
Saturday, which takes its name from the Roman deity Saturn. To varying extents,
most regions with dominant Germanic languages practise a similar naming
convention, with most of their weekdays named for their native Germanic deities.

English names of the days

The English days of the week are part of an astrological tradition of naming the days
after the Sun, the Moon, and the five visible planets. The latter is clearest in Saturday,
named for Saturn. What is different in the English system is that the names of
Germanic gods were chosen, and these were not considered to preside over the
relevant planets, but instead were considered equivalent to the Roman gods that were
thought to rule over the planets. For example, Friday is named after the Germanic
goddess of love, Freya, who was seen as equivalent to the Roman goddess of love
Venus, who was associated with the planet Venus that the Roman day was named for.

• Sunday: The name comes from the Old English Sunnandæg meaning "Day
of the Sun". This is a translation of the Latin phrase Dies Solis. English, like most of
the Germanic languages, preserves the original pagan/sun associations of the day.
Many other European languages, including all of the Romance languages, have
changed its name to the equivalent of "the Lord's day" (based on Ecclesiastical Latin
Dies Dominica). Spanish and Portuguese Domingo, French Dimanche, Romanian
Duminică and Italian Domenica, etc.

• Monday: The name comes from the Old English Mōnandæg meaning "Day
of the Moon". This is likely based on a translation of the Latin name Dies Lunae .
French Lundi, Spanish, Lunes, Romanian Luni, Italian Lunedì, etc.
• Tuesday: The name comes from the Old English Tiwesdæg meaning "Tyr's
day." Tyr (in Old English, Tiw, Tew or Tiu) was a god of combat and heroic glory in
Norse mythology and Germanic paganism. The name of the day is based on Latin
Dies Martis, "Day of Mars" (the Roman war god); French Mardi, Spanish Martes,
Romanian Marţi , Italian Martedì, etc .

• Wednesday: The name from the Old English Wōdnesdæg meaning the day
of the Germanic god Wodan, more commonly known as Odin, who was the highest
god in Norse mythology, and a prominent god of the Anglo-Saxons (and other
peoples) in England until about the seventh century. It is based on Latin Dies
Mercurii, "Day of Mercury"; French Mercredi, Spanish Miércoles, Romanian
Miercuri , Italian Mercoledì,etc . The connection between Mercury and Odin is more
strained than the other connections. The usual explanation is that both Odin and
Mercury were considered leaders of souls, in their respective mythologies. Also, in
Old Norse myth, Odin, like Mercury, is associated with poetic and musical
inspiration. In German, the day is referred to as Mittwoch (mid week). Similarly in
Finnish it is referred to as keskiviikko (keski = mid, viikko = week).

• Thursday: The name comes from the Old English Þūnresdæg meaning the
day of Þunor, commonly known in Modern English as Thor, the god of thunder in
Norse Mythology and Germanic Paganism. It is based on the Latin Dies Iovis, "Day
of Jupiter"; French Jeudi, Spanish Jueves, Romanian Joi, Italian Giovedì,etc . In the
Roman pantheon, Jupiter was the chief god, who seized and maintained his power on
the basis of his thunderbolt .

• Friday: The name comes from the Old English Frigedæg meaning the day
of Frige, the Germanic goddess of beauty, who is a later incarnation of the Norse
goddess Frigg, but also potentially connected to the Goddess Freyja. It is based on the
Latin Dies Veneris, "Day of Venus"; French Vendredi, Spanish Viernes, Romanian
Vineri, Italian Venerdì, etc. Venus was the Roman goddess of love and sex.

• Saturday: It is the only day of the week to retain its Roman origin in
English, named after the Roman god Saturn. Its original Anglo-Saxon rendering was
Sæturnesdæg. In Latin it was Dies Saturni, "Day of Saturn". But, French Samedi,
Spanish and Portuguese Sábado, Romanian Sâmbătă, Italian Sabato, etc. come from
Sabbata Dies (Day of the Sabbath) coming from Hebrew Shabath, "Day of Rest".
First day of the week

In English language countries the week may begin on either Sunday or Monday. Most
business and social calendars in the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada and
Australia mark Monday as the first day of the week, though in South Africa and South
America, Monday is considered the first day of the working week. Sunday was the
first day of the astrological week, the Hebrew week, and in the Ecclesiastical Latin
week of the first millennium.

In Jewish and Christian tradition, the first day of the seven day week is Sunday.
According to the Bible, God created the Earth in six days, and rested on the seventh
day, the Sabbath, i.e. Saturday. This made Sunday the first day of the week, while
Saturdays were sanctified for celebration and rest. After the week was adopted in
Early Christian Europe, Sunday remained the first day of the week, but also gradually
displaced Saturday as the day of celebration and rest, being considered the Lord's
Day.

The variation is evident from names of the days in some languages — in Hebrew,
Arabic, Greek, Portuguese some days are simply called by their number starting from
Sunday, e.g. Monday is called "Second day" etc. In other languages, like Slavic
languages, days are also called after their ordinal numbers, but starting from Monday,
making Tuesday the "Second day". According to another possible explanation, days
from Monday to Friday in Slavic languages aren't numbered by their position within
the week, but by their distance from Sunday, especially given that Wednesday is
named sereda "The Middle day", which makes it a true statement only if Sunday is
the first day of the week.

Through common usage in most of Europe for business purposes today, in South
America, and in parts of Asia, Monday is considered to be the first day of the week
and is literally named as such in languages such as Mandarin (xingqiyi) and
Lithuanian (pirmadienis). The ISO prescribes Monday as the first day of the week
with ISO-8601 for software date formats.

In the Julian and Gregorian calendars, a day extends from midnight to midnight.
However, in the Hebrew and Islamic calendars the days extend from sunset to sunset.
Thus, the Jewish shabath also starts at sunset on Friday and extends into Saturday and
the first day of the Islamic calendar, yaum al-ahad, starts on Saturday after sunset and
extends to sunset on Sunday.

Origins

It is suggested that the seven day week derives from early human observation that
there are seven celestial objects (the five visible planets plus the Sun and the Moon)
which move in the night sky relative to the fixed stars. Seven days is also the
approximate time between the principal phases of the Moon (new, first quarter, full,
last quarter). Various sources point to the seven day week having originated in ancient
Babylonia or Sumer. It has been suggested that a seven day week might be much
older. The seven day planetary week was known to be present in Hellenistic Egypt.
The oldest Greek attestation of a seven day week associated with heavenly luminaries
are from Vettius Valens, an astrologer writing ca 170 CE in his Anthologiarum. The
order was Sun, Moon, Ares, Hermes, Zeus, Aphrodite, and Chronos . Valens had
studied Egyptian astrology in Alexandria and there had probably also been exposed to
Babylonian astrology. From Greece the planetary week names passed to the Romans.

Sanskrit attestations of the navagraha "nine astrological forces", seven of which are
used for day names, date to the Yavanajataka "Sayings of the Greeks", a 150 CE
translation of a 120 CE Greek Alexandrian text. The Manicheans carried the system to
Tibet and China in the 3rd and 4th century.

The earliest known reference in Chinese writings is attributed to Fan Ning, who lived
in the late 4th century, while diffusions via India are documented with the writings of
the Chinese Buddhist monk Yi Jing and the Ceylonese or Central Asian Buddhist
monk Bu Kong of the 8th century. The Chinese transliteration of the planetary system
was soon brought to Japan by the Japanese monk Kobo Daishi; surviving diaries of
the Japanese statesman Fujiwara Michinaga show the seven day system in use in
Heian Period Japan as early as 1007. In Japan, the seven day system was kept in use
(for astrological purposes) until its promotion to a full-fledged (Western-style)
calendrical basis during the Meiji era.

The seven day week is known to have been unbroken for almost two millennia via the
Alexandrian, Julian, and Gregorian calendars. The date of Easter Sunday can be
traced back through numerous computistic tables to an Ethiopic copy of an early
Alexandrian table beginning with the Easter of 311 as described by Otto Neugebauer
in Ethiopic astronomy and computus.

In other languages

Romance languages

In most Romance languages, such as Italian, Spanish, French and Romanian, the
names of the days except Saturday and Sunday come from Roman gods via Latin.
Latin itself calqued the names from Greek. The Roman (Latin) names of the days are
still used in some English courts such as the House of Lords.

The major exception is Portuguese which uses a numbered system derived from the
Ecclesiastical Latin day names, as opposed to Classic Latin.

Christianization

The early Christian Church, uncomfortable using names based on pagan gods,
introduced a simple numerical nomenclature which persists in some European
languages such as Portuguese and Greek. The Christian names are derived from
Hebrew, which numbers all days of the week beginning with "First day" for Sunday
but ending with the "Shabath" for Saturday. Arabic names for Sunday through
Thursday are first through fifth days; Friday (the day when Muslims are expected to
perform noon prayers as a group) is named the Djum'a "gathering day" and Saturday
is Sabt.

It was Saint Martin of Dumio (c. 520–580), archbishop of Braga, who decided that it
was unworthy of good Christians to call the days of the week by the Latin names of
pagan gods and decided to use the ecclesiastic terminology to designate them (Feria
secunda, Feria tertia, Feria quarta, Feria quinta, Feria sexta, Sabbatum, Dominica
Dies), from which came the present Portuguese numbered system. Martin also tried
to replace the names of the planets, but in that he was not successful. In Middle Ages,
Galician-Portuguese still retained both systems (as seen in older texts), nowadays
only Portuguese's sister language Galician uses the old Roman gods system. For that
reason, the first day of the week in Portuguese is Sunday (Domingo).

The Slavic languages adopted numbering but took Monday rather than Sunday as the
"first day".

Celtic languages

Welsh, the closest living language to that of Roman Britain, faithfully preserves all
the Latin names, even though the language itself is not descended from Latin: dydd
Llun, dydd Mawrth, dydd Mercher, dydd Iau, dydd Gwener, dydd Sadwrn, Sul.

In Irish, the Latin names are used for Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. Three
days are named for the traditional Roman Catholic days of fasting and abstinence.
Wednesday is "the first fast": An Chéadaoin; Friday "the fast": An Aoine; leaving
Thursday as "the day between two fasts", An Dé idir dhá aoin, contracted to An
Déardaoin.

Germanic languages

In English all the days of the week are named after the ruling luminary, with most of
the names coming from Germanic deities, such as Wodan (Wednesday) and Thor
(Thursday). Sunday and Monday are named directly from the Sun and Moon.

Saturday is the only day named directly after a Roman god, though the Germanic god
associated with each day is generally a calque of the corresponding divinity from the
Roman calendar. Other Germanic languages generally follow the same pattern,
although the German for Wednesday is Mittwoch and the Yiddish is Mitvokh (mid-
week).

Icelandic is notably divergent, maintaining only the Sun and Moon (sunnudagur and
mánudagur respectively), while dispensing with the names of the explicitly heathen
gods in favor of a combination of numbered days and days whose names are linked to
pious or domestic routine (föstudagur, "Fasting Day" and laugardagur, "Washing
Day"). The "washing day" is also used in other North Germanic languages, although
the "pagan" names generally are retained.

Indic languages
In the Hindu Calendar followed in South Asia and South-East Asia the days of the
week (named after the planets, starting from Sunday) are called bhaanu vaasara
(Sun), indu vaasara (Moon), mangal vaasara (Mars), saumya vaasara (Mercury),
guru vaasara (Jupiter) bhrigu vaasara (Venus), sthira vaasara (Saturn).

The names of days in Hindi and Marathi are Ravivar (Sunday), Somvar (Monday),
Mangalvar (Tuesday), Budhvar (Wednesday), Guruvar (Thursday), Shukravar
(Friday) and Shanivar (Saturday).

The names of days in Urdu are Itwaar (Sunday), Peer (Monday), Mangal (Tuesday),
Budh (Wednesday), But under the Muslim influence : Jumaaraat for Thursday ,
Jumaah for Friday and Haftah ( seventh day )for Saturday.

Dravidian languages

In the linguistically unrelated South Indian dravidian language Tamil the days of the
week are also named after the planets, in the same order as in the Romance languages
and the Indo-Aryan languages - Thingal (Monday, Moon), Sevvaay (Tuesday, Mars),
Puthan (Wednesday, Mercury), Viyaazhan (Thursday, Jupiter), Velli (Friday, Venus),
Sani (Saturday, Saturn), Nyayiru (Sunday, Sun).

Sino- Tibetan languages

In the Sino-Tibetan language of Burmese, the days of the week, except for Sunday
and Monday, named after the planets, are Sanskrit loan words. In order starting from
Sunday, they are: Taninganway (Sino-Tibetan), Taninla (Sino-Tibetan), Inga (from
Sanskrit 'Angara', "Mars"), Boddhahu (from Sanksrit 'Budha' "Mercury"),
Kyathabaday (from Sanskrit "Vakyasapati"/"Bavahasapati"), Thaukkya (from
Sanskrit 'Shukra' and combined with Pali 'Sukka') and Sanay (from Sanskrit
"Shani").

Japanese and Korean

In Japanese and Korean, the days of the week are named after the Chinese
astrological week, which is based on the Indian luminary week. The Chinese
associated the five classical planets with the Five Elements. Notably, the order of the
planets follows the Indian week, and not the order of the Chinese elements. (See table
below.) For example, the planet Mercury is associated with the element Water, and
Wednesday (dies Mercuris) is called "day of water" (suiyoubi, in Sino-Japanese).
These names of days of the week were introduced by the end of the first millennium
CE to Japan and Korea, but they were not widely used in Japanese or Korean daily
life until the late 19th century.

Chinese

In modern Chinese, days of the week are numbered from one to six, except Sunday.
Literally, the Chinese term of Sunday means "week day"(星期日 or 星期天). Monday
is named literally "week one" in Chinese, Tuesday is "week two", and so on.
However, China adopted the Western calendar, putting Sunday at the beginning of the
calendar week, and Saturday (星期六, meaning "week six" in Chinese) at the end .

A second way to refer to weekdays is using the word zhou (周), meaning "cycle."
Therefore Sunday is referred to as zhoumo (周末), meaning "cycle's end" and
Monday through Saturday is termed accordingly zhouyi (周一） "first of cycle,"
zhouer (周二 ) "second of cycle," and etc.

Another Chinese numbering system, found sometimes in spoken Chinese of southern

languages (i.e. Cantonese/Yue, or Fukinese/Min), refers to Sunday as the "day of
worship" (礼拜日 or 礼拜天) and numbers the other days "first [day after] worship"
(Monday) through "sixth [day after] worship" (Saturday). The Chinese word used for
"worship" is associated with Christian and Muslim worship, and the system's use may
be connected with the arrival of Christianity, especially prevalent during in the 18th
and 19th centuries in south coastal port cities.

In traditional Chinese calenders, days may still be referred to by their association with
the sun, moon, and the Chinese elements of fire, water, wood, metal, and earth.

Etymologies of the days of the week

In the following lists an asterisc refers to an astral name. A number refers to a

numeral name. Names related to Christian Sunday, Jewish Shabah and Islamic Djum'a
are designated with

Ancient Greeks had astral names for the days. The Albanian language has astrological
names as well. Bizantian Greeks and Modern Greeks adopted the numeral names for
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. But for Friday there is paraskeyn (
preparation, eve of Sabbath), sambato for Saturday and day of Kirios (Lord) for
Sunday.

Armenian [inspired by Greek] used numerales from Monday to Thursday. Friday

became: Urbat from the aramaic aruvta ( eve of Sabbath ) which stems from
Hebrew: erev = eve ( before shabath).

Slavic languages

Basically the names of the days are numerical. Sunday is the day of rest, and literally
ne-dila "day of no work". But Sunday is also the beginning of the week and the word
nedela is synonim to week .

In Russian, Sunday is called voskresenye ( day of Resurrection ).

Monday is the 'day after nedela', and Wednesday is the 'middle' the etymology of
sereda is the same as serdse (heart ).

The etymology of the Basque days is unclear.

The original Basque week Aste (áste; "beggining [of lunation]) was three days long.
Astelehena (astélééna; "first [day] of the week", Monday)
Asteartea (astéárte-á;"the middle [day] of the week", Tuesday)
Asteazkena (astéáskená; "last [day] of the week ", Wednesday)
To this original week, four days were added later.
Osteguna (ostéguná; comes from: ost [sky] + egu [égu; day light], "[day of] day-light
of the sky", Thursday)
"ostegun" stems from "ortz-egun", day of Ortz ."Ortz" = sky, thunder, storm, probably
a pagan god similar to Jupiter ,
Ostirala (ostíralá; stems from: ost-ortz [sky] + irargi [irárgui; variant of ilargi, moon],
"[day of] the moon of the firmament ", Friday)
Igandea (igándeá; "[day of] full moon", Sunday) or perhaps from "igan"= to rise [
rising of Christ ? ]
Larunbata (larúnbatá; stems from: lauren bat [láuren bat; quarter [of the moon] ],
"[day of] half moon", Saturday ]
According to others, "larunbata"= four in one [ perhaps, because there are four days
after the asteazquen, the last ]
The Bizkaine days:
"egun"=day; "il"= moon. Thus "ilen" < "Il-egun"= day of moon ; Martitzen = day of
Mars; "egubakoitz" is: "egun"+ "bakoitz" `unique'. i.e.: unique day ; "bariku" day
without eat [ fast ]; "zabatu" y "domeka" from spanish sabado and domingo

Japanese y Korean use planetary names. Mars is called in japanese ka-sei [fire-star]
and the day Tuesday: kasei-yobi ; In calendars is found the abreviation ka-yobi: fire-
day' . Also only the symbol 火 ka = 'fire'. Similary for al the days of the week.
In Korean 'day' is "yoil" . "hwa" instead of "ka" , i.e.: hwa-yoil corresponds to ka-
yobi .
The Vietnamese are numeral, begining with Sunday , day of the Lord ( under
influence of portuguese misioners in the 17 th century).

Notes

1. In Ecclesiastical Latin, the Romance languages, Greek, and the Gaelic

languages, Sunday is named after the "Lord", because it is the day of the Resurrection
of Jesus. The historic reason was the replacement of the Roman godhead Sun by the
Christian god Dominus.(Lord)
2. The Romance languages, Old High German and German, and the Slavic
languages have words for Saturday that are derived from the Hebrew Sabbath, via late
Greek Sabbaton.
3. German and Finnish call Wednesday, prosaically, "mid-week"; Estonian
Kesknädal is equivalent, with "Third day" (kolmapäev) also used; Icelandic and
Faroese uses "Mid-week day"; Polish, Russian, etc. have "Middle".
4. Old Norse, Swedish (and other North Germanic languages), and Finnish and
Estonian (Finnic languages) call Saturday "Washday" or "Bathday", as it was the
traditional day for washing and bathing.
5. The Japanese names are the same as the traditional way days of week were
named in Chinese. The Korean names are also the same but written in Hangul.
6. Icelandic sunnudagur and mánudagur are astronomical, persisting presumably
because they make no explicit reference to pagan gods.
7. An alternative naming for Saturday, used in Friesland and the northern parts of
Germany, is derived from Sun-eve, the day before the day of the sun . Northern
dialects of German use Sonnabend. In Frisian Sneon (sinnejûn) is used.
