Most of the world's cultures don't use names for the days of the week; they just call them First Day, Second Day and so on.
Those that do name the days follow the Chaldean, or Babylonian custom of calling them for certain gods.
European cultures use the local gods whose attributes were thought to be most similar to those of the Babylonian pantheon. Thus, the third day was named for Nergal, the God of War and death, but the Northern peoples called it Tuesday or Tyrsday for Tyr, their god of war, while Mediterranean societies named it for the Latin Mars (Martes, Mardi).
Friday is Freya's Day, or Venus' Day, or Ishtar's Day (goddess of love)
Thursday is for Thor, or Jupiter, or Marduk (gods with thunderbolts)
Wednesday can be for Wotan (Odin) or Mercury (Hermes), both wanderers. In German, interestingly, it's just Mitwoch "middle of the week."
