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. The early Romans, around
the first century, used Saturday as the first day of the week. As the
worshipping 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).
