Dydd Llun Dydd Mawrth Dydd Mercher Dydd Iau Dydd Gwener Dydd Sadwrn Dydd Sul Most of the words appear to be influences by latin; Llun (Luna/Moon); Mawrth (Mars); Mercher (Mercury); Sadwrn (Saturn); Sul (Sol/Sun). The words which aren't clearly transliterations from Latin to Welsh and may have an older Celtic origin are Thursday and Friday. "Iau" is reputedly the Welsh form of Jove, Zeus or Thor - a god of strength. "Gwener" is a goddess of love or bliss close to Venus or in English; Frig.
