The days of the week in English were mostly named for Norse gods, for example, Thursday = Thor's day. The pattern holds for many of the Germanic languages, too. The Russian week day names are based on a count starting with понедельник (Ponedel'nik) which comes, literally, from "Beginning of the week". In Spanish, you see Roman gods giving their names to the days.
