There is no day of the week that directly means "God of War." Otherwise the name of that day would be indeed "God of War." However, there is Tuesday and Wednesday, or rather, Tyr's Daeg, and Woden's Daeg, in the old norse, from which our modern names for the days of the week come from.
Tyr is the God of justice through battle, and honor. Woden is (among other things) the God of battle for greedy ends, and bloodshed.
