Thursday
The English noun Monday derived sometime before 1200 from monedæi, which itself developed from Old English (around 1000) mōnandæg and mōndæg (literally meaning "day of the moon"), which is cognate to the Old Norse mánadagr.
Monday - day of the moon Tuesday - Tyr's day (a Norse god) Wednesday - Woden's day (a Norse god) Thursday - Thor's day (a Norse god) Friday - Frigg's day (a Norse goddess) Saturday - Saturn's day (a Roman god) Sunday - day of the sun In English, we call our days of the week after Saxon gods, apart from Saturday. 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! Wednesday is named for the Norse god Odin, Thursday is named after the god Thor, Friday is named after the god Frigg or Freya, Tuesday is named after the god Tyr. All of these are based on a Latin version with Roman gods. Thursday was named for the Norse weather god Thor.
