Best Answer

It is false.

The names of the days of the week recall:

-- the Sun

(but Spanish: "Domingo")

-- the Moon

-- Tiw, the Germanic God of War

(although in German: "Dienstag")

-- Wodin, Wotan, Odin, chief deity of the Germanic peoples

(although in German ... "Mitwoch", meaning "mid-week")

-- Thor, old English Unresdæg, literally "day of thunder"

(German: "Donnerstag" ... "Thunderday")

-- Old English "Frigedæg", day of the goddess "Frigg", from a prehistoric

Germanic verb "to love", also the ancestor of the English "friend" and "free".

-- Saturn's day

(Spanish: "Sabado", meaning "Sabbath")
