The Origins Of The Names Of The Days

The names of the days are in some cases derived from Teutonic deities or, such as in Romance languages, from Roman deities.

As the worshiping of the Sun increased, the Sun's day (Sunday) advanced from position of the second day to the first day of the week (and Saturday became the seventh day).
