Wednesday is named after Woden (or Odin), the chief god in Germanic mythology. The name derives from the Old English "Wōdnesdæg," which translates to "Woden's day." This naming convention parallels the Latin "dies Mercurii," or "day of Mercury," in Roman culture, reflecting the blending of pagan and Roman influences in the calendar. Thus, Wednesday serves as a reminder of the historical connections between language, mythology, and the days of the week.

They began playing football as a means to keeping fit outside the cricket season and presumably found that they were rather good at it because they began competing in the game as the Wednesday Football Club, eventually changing their name to the Sheffield Wednesday Football Club in 1929.
