The days of the week are named after celestial bodies and gods from ancient mythology. The naming convention originated with the Romans, who named the days after their gods and planets, which were in turn influenced by earlier Babylonian Astrology. For example, Sunday is named after the Sun, Monday after the Moon, and Saturday after Saturn. This system was later adopted and adapted by various cultures, including the Germanic and Norse traditions, leading to the names we use today in English.
The days of the week were named after gods from Norse mythology. For example, Thursday was originally "Thor's day", named after the god Thor.
The days of the week are in part named after Norse gods (and also after the sun and the moon, which are not Norse gods).
