Are days of the week named after planets?
Some of them are. In Old English, “Sunday” comes from Sunnandaeg, or Sun’s day, followed by “Monday” which stems from Monandaeg, or Moon’s day. The rest of the day names with which we are familiar stem from Anglo-Saxon names for gods in Teutonic mythology. Tuesday, or Tiwesdaeg, comes from Tiu, or Tiw, the Anglo-Saxon name for Tyr, the Norse god of war. Wednesday, or Wodnesdaeg, refers to Woden, or Odin, the supreme deity. Similarly, Thursday, Thursdaeg, originates from Thor, the god of thunder (corresponding to the Roman god Jupiter, or Jove). Friday, or Frigedaeg, is derived from Frigga, the wife of Woden and goddess of love and marriage. Saturday, or Saeterndaeg, refers to Saturn, the ancient Roman god of agriculture, fun, and feasting.
The French days of the week are named which gods?
no, it's the planets (but you are right, planets depend on the Greeks gods) Lundi -> Lune = moon Mardi -> Mars Mercredi -> Mercure = Mercury Jeudi -> Jupiter Vendredi -> Vénus = Venus Samedi -> Saturne = Saturn Dimanche -> Soleil (Dies in latin) = Sun I'm afraid you have made a mistake concerning 'Dimanche'. Obviously in English, Sunday is the day of the sun, but in French it's 'le jour du Seigneur' - the day of Our Lord -Di comes from the Latin dies, and dimanche comes from dies Dominicus.
