The days of the week are named after celestial bodies and gods from various mythologies. In English, the names derive from Old English and are influenced by Latin and Norse mythology: Sunday is named after the Sun, Monday for the Moon, and the remaining days are named after Norse gods corresponding to Roman ones—Tuesday for Tiw (Mars), Wednesday for Woden (Mercury), Thursday for Thor (Jupiter), Friday for Frigg (Venus), and Saturday for Saturn. This naming convention reflects a mix of ancient astrological beliefs and cultural exchanges.
