Who decided that Saturday is the Sabbath day since in ancient times the days did not have a name as such?

The Torah names the seventh day of the week as the Sabbath (Genesis ch.2, Exodus ch.20). In the Torah, none of the days of the week have names; they are only described as "six days of doing work and one day of rest" (in Hebrew, "Sabbath" - shabbat - means "rest"). Names such as Subbota (Russian), Samedi (French), Sabado (Spanish), Σάββατο
(Greek), and Saturday, all came later but were all used to refer to the seventh day of the week. In whatever language you refer to a rose (roza, rose, rosa, Ï„Ïιαντάφυλλο), it still points to just one thing.
The only question that remains is - how do we know that our Saturday is the seventh day of the week, all the way back? The answer is that this is one of those things in which we rely upon tradition. We Jews have a 3800-year unbroken tradition, which was corroborated on Mount Sinai by direct revelation. It is on the strength of our tradition that the Western world numbers the days of the week.

Which particular day is the sabbath according to biblical research?
The Bible never really says which day of the week the Sabbath is. And since we operate on a Gregorian calendar, rather than the Jewish calendar, they don't directly correspond. However, for a very long time now, the Sabbath has been observed from Friday night at sundown to Saturday night at sundown.

Why do Jewish have Sabbath on that day?
Answer 1Jews have a sabbath day on Saturday, the sixth day of the week god created the world on the sixth day so they believe that its a holy day. On the Sabbath they wear their best cloths and have a massive feast they are not allowed to work on the Sabbath.Answer 2Answer 1 is incorrect as to how the Jews count the days. Jews start with Sunday as the first day, making Shabbat or Saturday the seventh day of the week. The seventh day is holy since God ceased his labors on that day. The Christians changed this method of counting, making Sunday the seventh day to coincide with Easter Sunday, which in their view was the beginning of the New Holy Sabbath. As for why Saturday was chosen (as opposed to Wednesday), that just happens to be how the Hebrew weekly calendar corresponds to the Western calendar and has nothing to do with any special characteristic of Saturn (from which Saturday is derived).
On which day does the Jewish sabbath begin?
In Judaism, based on Genesis ch.1 and Leviticus 23:32, all days including the Sabbath last from sunset to sunset. In actual practice, we begin our Shabbat a short time before sunset (on Friday) and end it after twilight on Saturday. This is done for several reasons and is a little longer than the actual Biblical day of Sabbath.

Why is the Christian Sabbath different from the Jewish Sabbath?
Christians originally observed the Jewish Sabbath of Saturday. When the Roman emperor Constantine reversed the previous Roman policy of persecuting Christianity, and instead offered to sponsor the church (he saw it as a potential unifying and rallying force for the weakening Roman Empire), it was with the provision that they would change their worship day from Saturday to Sunday, which was the Romans' traditional day of worship. The Roman Christians considered traditional Jewish law to have been set aside, could not see any special or compelling reason to keep the traditional Sabbath, believed Jesus had risen from the tomb on a Sunday, and wanted to see their religion finally legitimized in the Empire, so they agreed to the change. Christians have largely observed the Sunday Sabbath ever since. Furthermore, the Catholic church claims, that she has by her "Divine Authority" changed the Sabbath from Saturday to Sunday. Read the Convert's Catechism. They cahnged the Sabbath to allow the pagans who were comin ginto the church to feel comfortable and continue worshipping on the day of the Sun. The Catholic church also admits that there is NO biblical basis whatsoever for this change. If you are a Christian, and you are following the bible and the Bible alone, then you should be keeping the "Jewish" Sabbath, which is the Sabbath of all mankind.
What is the symbol for the bread made on the Sabbath day?
The name of the bread prepared for the Sabbath by Jews is called Challah. It has no unique "symbol" although the spelling of the name "Challah" in Hebrew letters is (חלה). (Note that the Sabbath-bread, or Challah, is actually baked before the Sabbath, since the Sabbath is a day of rest.)
What time is the Sabbath?
Sabbath begins at sundown on Friday night. Since the length of a day changes every day, this is not a consistent minute or hour.
Which day does the week start?
The week starts on a Sunday on most North American calendars, since the norm is to begin with the Christian sabbath. (But if you are Jewish, the new week starts on a Saturday, since that is their Sabbath, while for Muslims, it's a Friday.) However, it should be noted that some people regard the start of the week as Monday, the day when most people go to work: in western cultures, the Monday-through-Friday schedule is widely observed in businesses and schools.
