The English names of the week have their origins in Rome, but use names that come from Old English (which is related to Old Norse). I'll show you:
Sunday = dies Solis (Sol's Day) = sunnandæg(Sunna's Day): Sol is the Roman god of the Sun. Sunnawas the Germanic name for Sól, Norse goddess of the Sun.
Monday = dies Lunae (Luna's Day) = mōnandæg(Máni's Day): Luna was the Roman personifcation of the Moon. Máni was the German/Norse god of the Moon.
Tuesday = dies Martis (Mars' Day) = Tiwesdæg (Tiw's Day): Mars was the Roman God of War. Tîw was the Germanic name for Týr, Norse god of combat, victory and heroic glory.
Wednesday = dies Mercurii (Mercury's Day) = Wōdnesdæg (Wōden's Day): In this case Mercury was specifically noted as being the god of Travelers. Wōden, the Germanic name for Odin, was also patron of wanderers and travelers.
Thursday = dies Iovis (Jove's Day) = Ϸunresdæg (Thunor's Day): Jove/Jupiterwas the wielder of the powerful lightning bolts. Thunor was the Germanic name for Thor, god of Thunder and Lightning.
Friday = dies Veneris (Venus' Day) = Frīġedæg(Frigg's Day): Venus was the Roman goddess of love and beauty. Frigg was the Germanic name for Frejya, Norse goddess of love
Saturday = dies Saturni (Saturn's Day) = Sæternesdæg (Saturn's Day): This is the only day that didn't take on a Norse/German name, possibly because there was no equivalent to Saturn in that religion. In Old German, the day was called Sunnunaband or Sunday Eve.
