The French call their days of the week after Roman gods. But the Saxon and Roman gods who look after the same day are the same type of god. The English 'Saturday' is called after a Roman god, not a Saxon one. In Scandinavia, the word for Saturday is Lordag. It is an ancient word meaning "bath". Apparently the Vikings took one bath a week and it was on Saturday, so they called it "bath day". Perhaps the Saxons didn't like baths, so they preferred to use the Roman day name!

All of these are based on a Latin version with Roman gods. Thursday was named for the Norse weather god Thor.

You spelled Wedensday wrong....The mid-day of the week is named for the Norse God, Odin. He was also known as Woden or Wotan. Unlike many of the other days of the week, this day did not correspond roughly with the Roman designation for the day. (The Roman's named Wednesday for the messenger God - Mercury - In Romanian, the day is still known as miercuri). The early Scandanavians and Germans believed that Odin was the chief God of Asgard and as such deserved to have a day of the week named for him. The Anglo-Saxons used the word, Wodnesdaeg.
Thursday, named after Thor, the god of thunder.
