Best Answer

Tuesday = Dienstag. The name is derived (via Latin Mars Thingus) from the Germanic god Tyr, God of War and law Roman god Mars.

It is the same origin as Tiwesdæg (=Tuesday, English),tirsdag (Danish) and tirsdag/tysdag (Norwegian)

Tyr was the original main god of the Indogermanic people but was eventually supplanted by Woden (Odin)
