I don't think each day is named after a god, especially since the Gregorian calendar was commissioned by Pope Gregory XIII, head of the Roman Catholic Church. However, Pope Gregory kept the names of the months of the Julian calendar, some of which are named after Roman gods.
Additionally:
The days of the year [regardless of the calendar] are repeated in the seven-day weekly cycle, given to man by his Creator in the beginning.
God only gave one of these a name, the "seventh day" [the Sabbath {rest}day], whereby man might "remember" creation and that he is made in his Creator's image. The other six days He merely numbered; i.e.:
"In the end of the Sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week... (Matt.28:1). [The first day of the week "remembers" God's first day of creation. To Him, it's the first workday of the week, which we call Sunday today; "...six days shalt thou labour and do all thy work..." - Ex.20:9]"
Man's subsequent choice to obey the god of this world, instead of his Creator, brought about the desire to give the days of the weekly cycle names dedicated to some of his most popular gods... instead of just mere numbers.
Thereby, perhaps, was even God's seven-day weekly cycle preserved in the midst of man's rebellion against Him -- as seven names are much easier to remember than to try to remember 365 of his thousands of different gods.
1) Sunday; the Sun's day: 2) Monday; Luna, Moon'sday: 3) Tuesday; Theseus' day: 4) Wednesday; Woden's day: 5) Thursday; Thor's day: 6) Friday; Friedan or Friatag's day: 7) Saturday; Saturn's day.
So, although every day of our 365-day year calendar has a variation of a name of one of man's once-[and possibly, still] popular gods -- there are only seven of those gods that were chosen and repeated throughout the year.
The names of the months on the calendar have evolved over time and have origins in various sources, including Roman gods, Roman emperors, and Latin numbers. For example, July was named after Julius Caesar, while September, October, November, and December were named based on their position as the 7th, 8th, 9th, and 10th months in the Roman calendar before January and February were added later.
No, he kept the names the ancient Romans gave them.
The month of July is named after Julius Caesar and August is named after Caesar Augustus. They both changed the months and the amounts of days in them, giving us the calendar that our modern ones are based on.
The Gregorian calendar was named after the man who first introduced it, Pope Gregory XIII on February 1582. It is a internationally accepted civil calendar. The two other names that the calendar is called is the Western Calendar and the Christian Calendar.
All of the English month names are based on the Latin names of the Roman months. The calendar we use is the Gregorian calendar. It derives its name from Pope Gregory XIII who introduced some minor modifications to the Julian calendar in the 16th century. This means that we use a slightly modified version of the calendar introduced by Julius Caesar.
No, there is no month named after Venus. The months in the Gregorian calendar are largely derived from Latin or Roman names. Venus was the Roman goddess of love and beauty, but there is no corresponding month named after her.
"Tzolkin" and "Haab'" are two of the Mayan words used to name their calendar.
a cell is normally named after the founder of the cell. However they are also given random names
The Romans had three calendars in the ocurse of their history. The first calendar was the calendar of Romulus, the first king of Rome. It had only ten months. The second calendar was the calendar of Numa, named after Numa Pompilius, the second king of Rome, who added two months, bringing it to 12 months. Both of these calendars were lunar. Julius Caesar undertook a major reform of the calendar, introducing a solar calendar. It is Called the Julian calendar. Apart from some changes for refinement introduced by Pope Gregory XIII in 1582, it is the calendar we still use today. Because of the changes it is now called the Gregorian calendar. The names we use for the months are derived from the names in the Julian Calendar. July is derived form Julius. This month was named after Julius Caesar. August is derived from Augustus. This month was named after Augustus. September, October, November and December mean 7th, 8th, 9th and 10th month (In Latin septem is 7, octo is 8, novem is 9 and decem is 10). This is because the Roman year started in March and therefore these months were the 7th, 8th, 9th and 10th.
The names of the months in the Jewish calendar in the order they appear: Nissan, Iyar, Sivan, Tamuz, Av, Elul, Tishrei, Cheshvan, Kislev, Tevet, Shevat, Adar (I and II). The Georgian calendar is based on the solar year, while the Jewish (and Muslim) calendar is based on the lunar year; therefore, correlation of holy days can only be done on an annual basis.
The names of the months primarily derive from Latin, reflecting the Roman calendar. January is named after Janus, the god of beginnings; March is named for Mars, the god of war; and May is named after Maia, an earth goddess. Other months, like July and August, were named in honor of Julius Caesar and Emperor Augustus, respectively, to commemorate their contributions to Roman society. The remaining months also have connections to numbers or deities from Roman mythology.
The names of the months come from a mix of Roman and Saxon influences. For example, September, October, November, and December were originally the seventh, eighth, ninth, and tenth months in the Roman calendar. January is named after the Roman god Janus, and March is named after Mars, the Roman god of war.
