      I’m Spanish all the days of the week are named after the planets, the moon and the Sun

      Lunae Dies’ en honor a la diosa Luna, es lunes.

      ‘Marti Dies’, en honor al dios de la guerra, Marte, y es martes.

      ‘Mercurii Dies’, en honor al dios del comercio, es miércoles

      ‘Jovis Dies’, en honor a Júpiter, dios de dioses, es jueves.

      ‘Veneris Dies’, en honor a Venus, diosa del amor, es viernes.

        I mean in English it’s

        Sun

        Moon

        Tyr (Mars)

        Odin (Mercury)

        Thor (Jupiter)

        Freya (No roman counterpart, arguably occupies the same function as Venus)

        Saturn

        Saturn is also how we get Saturday in English.

        Wednesday comes from Woden’s Day, an alternative spelling of Odin’s Day.

        Which leads us to Thor’s Day: Thursday.

        I don’t know where we get from Mars to Tuesday and Venus to Friday though.
