Don't you think something significant enough for us to base ourIs that why Tuesday is named after the god Twe? And why Wednesday
calendars on His [sic] birth happened back then?
is named ofter the god Odin? And Thursday is named after the god
Thor? And Friday is named after the goddess Frigg?
In English their are named after the Old English gods Tiw (Tīwesdæg), Wodan (Wōdnesdæg), Thunor (Þunres dæg) and Frigga (Frīgedæg).
Tiw == Tyr (Old Norse Týr) (dies Martis)
Wodan == Odin (Óðinn)
Thunor == Thor (Þórr)
Frigga == Frigg (?)
For whatever reason, we got a half-translated name for Saturday (Sæterdæg, Sæternesdæg). Some authorities think it's becaus there's no real corresponding figure in the Germanic pantheon to Saturn/Cronus. But if that's the basic strategem, why did we get Wodan's Day for dies Mercurii and Thunor's day for dies Jovis instead of vice versa?
