| Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 82417232 United States01/29/2023 10:12 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It's an Anglo-Saxon/English thing. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 80648280 You wouldn't understand. Sunday - Day of Sunne Monday - Day of Mona Tuesday - Day of Tiwaz Wednesday - Day of Woden Thursday - Day of Thunre Friday - Day of Frigge Saturday - Day of Saeternes That’s cute, barbarian. The English derivations stem from the Latin diēs sōlis (“sun's day”). To know why this particular day is devoted to the sun, you have to look to Babylonian times. The Babylonians were the first to start the seven-day week, and they brought it to the Latin-speaking Romans, who named each day after a god. |

I know that the names derived from Babylon and the 7 classical stars. But Sun isn't from the Latin Sol. Sun is a wholly Germanic Anglo-Saxon word. |

It’s not the word it’s the concept… The Germanics didn't get their 7 day names from the Etruscans or Romans. They got them from the times when they were still living in Sumeria. All Germanics (including Anglo-Saxons) originated in Mesopotamia - like everyone else in the world. |

Not sure why you’re only focusing on one language when there are more and they predate Germanic but ok… if that makes you feel better for some reason. But yes, English has Germanic words in it. Way to miss the point. |
