In a vast number of languages, the names given to the seven days of the week (Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday) are derived from the names of the seven heavenly bodies (the Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, and Saturn) which were in turn named after contemporary Hellenistic deities. This system was introduced by the Sumerians and later adopted by the Babylonians from whom the Roman Empire adopted the system during late antiquity.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.timeanddate.com/calendar/days/first-day-of-the-week.html |title=What is the First Day of the Week? }}</ref> In some other languages, the days are named after corresponding deities of the regional culture. The seven-day week was adopted in early Christianity from the Hebrew calendar, and gradually replaced the Roman internundinum. Eight-day and seven-day weeks existed side-by-side until the Emperor Constantine made the seven-day week official in AD 321; thereafter, the seven-day week spread throughout the Roman Empire and eventually through Christian cultures around the world.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.museumofthebible.org/book-minute/the-seven-day-week |title=The Seven-Day Week}}</ref>

The history of the seven-day week can be traced to ancient civilizations. Sunday remained the first day of the week, being considered the day of the sun god Sol Invictus and the Lord's Day, while the Jewish Sabbath remained the seventh. Most historians agree the seven-day week dates back to Babylonians who started using it about 4,000 years ago.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Goeseke |first=H. |last2=Parker |first2=Richard A. |last3=Dubberstein |first3=Waldo H. |date=1960 |title=Babylonian Chronology 626 B.C.-A.D. 75 |url=https://doi.org/10.2307/1580326 |journal=Oriens |volume=13 |pages=362 |doi=10.2307/1580326 |issn=0078-6527|url-access=subscription }}</ref> The number 7 was sacred to the Babylonians.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.ancientpages.com/2016/11/07/7-day-week-can-traced-babylonians-started-using-4000-years-ago/ |title=Our 7-Day Week Can Be Traced To Babylonians Who Started Using It 4,000 Years Ago}}</ref> Emperor Constantine of the Roman Empire made the Day of the Sun ({{lang|la|dies Solis}}, "Sunday") a legal holiday centuries later.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Schaff |first=Philip |url=https://archive.org/details/historychristia01schagoog |title=History of the Christian Church Vol. III |date=1884 |publisher=T&T Clark |location=Edinburgh |page=[ https://archive.org/details/historychristia01schagoog/page/380/mode/1up 380] |access-date=15 March 2019}}</ref>

In the international standard ISO 8601, Monday is treated as the first day of the week, but in many countries it is counted as the second day of the week.

== Days named after planets ==

=== Greco-Roman tradition === {{Further|Week|Planetary hours}} Between the first and third centuries CE, the Roman Empire gradually replaced the eight-day Roman nundinal cycle with the seven-day week. The earliest evidence for this new system is a Pompeiian graffito referring to 6 February (''ante diem viii idus Februarias'') of the year 60 CE as ''dies solis'' ("Sunday").<ref>''Nerone Caesare Augusto Cosso Lentuol Cossil fil. Cos. VIII idus Febr(u)arius dies solis, luna XIIIIX nun(dinae) Cumis, V (idus Februarias) nun(dinae) Pompeis''. Robert Hannah, "Time in Written Spaces", in: Peter Keegan, Gareth Sears, Ray Laurence (eds.), ''Written Space in the Latin West, 200 BC to 300 AD'', A&C Black, 2013, [https://books.google.com/books?id=PeVLAQAAQBAJ&pg=PA89 p. 89].</ref> Another early witness is a reference to a lost treatise by Plutarch, written in about 100 CE, which addressed the question of: "Why are the days named after the planets reckoned in a different order from the 'actual' order?"<ref>E. G. Richards, ''Mapping Time, the Calendar and History'', Oxford 1999. p. 269</ref> The treatise is lost, but the answer to the question is known; see planetary hours.{{citation needed|date=May 2023}}

The Ptolemaic system of planetary spheres asserts that the order of the heavenly bodies from the farthest to the closest to the Earth is Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Sun, Venus, Mercury, and the Moon; objectively, the planets are ordered from slowest to fastest moving as they appear in the night sky.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Falk |first=Michael |date=19 March 1999 |title=Astronomical names for the days of the week |journal=Journal of the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada |volume=93 |issue=1999–06 |pages=122–133 |bibcode=1999JRASC..93..122F}}</ref>

The days were named after the classical planets of Hellenistic astrology, in the order: Sun (''Helios''), Moon (''Selene''), Mars (''Ares''), Mercury (''Hermes''), Jupiter (''Zeus''), Venus (''Aphrodite''), and Saturn (''Cronus'').<ref>{{Cite web |date=2016-05-28 |title=Days of the Week Meaning and Origin |url=http://astrologyclub.org/days-week-meaning-origin/ |access-date=2016-12-25 |website=Astrologyclub.org}}</ref>

The seven-day week spread throughout the Roman Empire in late antiquity. By the fourth century CE, it was in wide use throughout the Empire.{{Citation needed|date=March 2022}}

==== Romance languages ==== {{Redirect|Sábado|the Portuguese news magazine|Sábado (magazine){{!}}''Sábado'' (magazine)}} Except for in Portuguese and Mirandese, the Romance languages preserved the Latin names, except for the names of Sunday, which was replaced by ''[dies] Dominicus (Dominica)'', that is, "the Lord's Day", and of Saturday, which was named for the Jewish Sabbath.

==== Celtic languages ==== Early Old Irish adopted the names from Latin, but introduced separate terms of Norse origin for Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, then later supplanted these with terms relating to church fasting practices.

In Welsh, the word for ‘day’ {{lang|cy|dydd}} is replaced by the words for ‘morning' {{lang|cy|bore}}, ’night’ {{lang|cy|nos}} or ‘afternoon’ {{lang|cy|prynhawn}}, etc to say ‘Monday morning’ {{lang|cy|bore Llun}}, or ‘Friday night’ {{lang|cy|nos Wener}}, etc. It is never *{{lang|cy|nos dydd Llun}} or *{{lang|cy|bore dydd Llun}} which are ungrammatical.

With the exception of ''sabato'', the Esperanto names are all from French, cf. French ''dimanche, lundi, mardi, mercredi, jeudi, vendredi''.

=== Germanic tradition === {{Further|Germanic calendar}} The Germanic peoples adapted the system introduced by the Romans by substituting the Germanic deities for the Roman ones (with the exception of ''Saturday'') in a process known as {{lang|la|interpretatio germanica}}. The date of the introduction of this system is not known exactly, but it must have happened later than 100 AD but before the introduction of Christianity during the 6th to 7th centuries, i.e., during the final phase or soon after the collapse of the Western Roman Empire.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Grimm |first=Jacob |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=I2WhHX2peKEC&pg=PA123 |title=Teutonic Mythology |publisher=Courier Corporation |year=2004 |isbn=978-0-486-43546-6 |pages=122–123}}</ref> This period is later than the Common Germanic stage, but still during the phase of undifferentiated West Germanic. The names of the days of the week in North Germanic languages were not calqued from Latin directly, but taken from the West Germanic names. * '''Sunday''': Old English {{lang|ang|Sunnandæg}} ({{IPA|ang|ˈsunnɑndæj|pron}}), meaning "sun's day". This is a translation of the Latin phrase {{lang|la|diēs Sōlis}}. English, like most of the Germanic languages, preserves the day's association with the sun. Many other European languages, including all of the Romance languages, have changed its name to the equivalent of "the Lord's day" (based on Ecclesiastical Latin {{lang|la|dies Dominica}}). In both West Germanic and North Germanic mythology, the Sun is personified as Sunna/Sól. * '''Monday''': Old English {{lang|ang|Mōnandæg}} ({{IPA|ang|ˈmoːnɑndæj|pron}}), meaning "Moon's day". This is equivalent to the Latin name {{lang|la|diēs Lūnae}}. In North Germanic mythology, the Moon is personified as Máni. * '''Tuesday''': Old English {{lang|ang|Tīwesdæg}} ({{IPA|ang|ˈtiːwezdæj|pron}}), meaning "Tiw's day". Tiw (Norse {{lang|non|Týr}}) was a one-handed god associated with single combat and pledges in Norse mythology and also attested prominently in wider Germanic paganism. The name of the day is also related to the Latin name {{lang|la|diēs Mārtis}}, "Day of Mars" (the Roman god of war). * '''Wednesday''': Old English {{lang|ang|Wōdnesdæg}} ({{IPA|ang|ˈwoːdnezdæj|pron}}) meaning the day of the Germanic god Woden (known as Óðinn among the North Germanic peoples), and a prominent god of the Anglo-Saxons (and other Germanic peoples) in England until about the seventh century. This corresponds to the Latin counterpart {{lang|la|diēs Mercuriī}}, "Day of Mercury", as both are deities of magic and knowledge. Importantly, both are also psychopomps, carrying the souls of the dead to the afterlife. The German ''Mittwoch'', the Low German {{lang|de|Middeweek}}, the ''miðviku-'' in Icelandic {{lang|is|miðvikudagur}} and the Finnish {{lang|fi|keskiviikko}} all mean "mid-week". * '''Thursday''': Old English {{lang|ang|Þūnresdæg}} ({{IPA|ang|ˈθuːnrezdæj|pron}}), meaning '{{lang|ang|Þunor}}'s day'. {{lang|ang|Þunor}} means thunder or its personification, the Norse god known in Modern English as Thor. Similarly Dutch {{lang|nl|donderdag}}, German {{lang|de|Donnerstag}} ('thunder's day'), Finnish {{lang|fi|torstai}}, and Scandinavian {{lang|da|torsdag}} ('Thor's day'). "Thor's day" corresponds to Latin {{lang|la|diēs Iovis}}, "day of Jupiter" (the Roman god of thunder). * '''Friday''': Old English {{lang|ang|Frīgedæg}} ({{IPA|ang|ˈfriːjedæj|pron}}), meaning the day of the Anglo-Saxon goddess {{lang|ang|Frīg}}. The Norse name for the planet Venus was {{lang|non|Friggjarstjarna}}, 'Frigg's star'.<ref>{{Cite web |title=friggjarstjarna |url=https://onp.ku.dk/onp/onp.php?o23978 |access-date=2021-07-08 |website=Dictionary of Old Norse Prose |publisher=University of Copenhagen}}</ref> It is based on the Latin {{lang|la|diēs Veneris}}, "Day of Venus". * '''Saturday''': named after the Roman god Saturn associated with the Titan Cronus, father of Zeus and many Olympians. Its original Anglo-Saxon rendering was {{lang|ang|Sæturnesdæg}} ({{IPA|ang|ˈsæturnezdæj|pron}}). In Latin, it was {{lang|la|diēs Sāturnī}}, "Day of Saturn". The Nordic ''laugardagur'', ''leygardagur'', ''laurdag'', etc. deviate significantly as they have no reference to either the Norse or the Roman pantheon; they derive from Old Nordic {{lang|non|laugardagr}}, literally "washing-day". The German {{lang|de|Sonnabend}} (mainly used in northern and eastern Germany) and the Low German {{lang|nds|Sünnavend}} mean "Sunday Eve"; the German word {{lang|de|Samstag}} derives from the name for Shabbat.

=== Hindu tradition === {{further|Navagraha}} Hindu astrology uses the concept of days under the regency of a planet{{clarify|date=October 2021}} under the term ''vāsara/vāra'', the days of the week being called sūrya-/ravi''-''/āditya'', chandra-/soma-, maṅgala-, budha-, guru-/bṛhaspati-, śukra-,'' and ''śani-vāsara''. ''śukrá'' is a name of Venus (regarded as a son of Bhṛgu); ''guru'' is here a title of Bṛhaspati, and hence of Jupiter; ''budha'' "Mercury" is regarded as a son of ''Soma'', that is, the Moon.<ref>Monier-Williams, ''Sanskrit-English Dictionary'' (1899), s.v. ''vāsara''.</ref> Knowledge of Greek astrology existed since about the 2nd century BC,{{citation needed|date=February 2023}} but references to the ''vāsara'' occur somewhat later, during the Gupta period (''Yājñavalkya Smṛti'', c. 3rd to 5th century AD), that is, at roughly the same period or before the system was introduced in the Roman Empire.{{citation needed|date=January 2018}}

==== Southeast Asian languages ==== The Southeast Asian tradition also uses the Hindu names of the days of the week. Hindu astrology adopted the concept of days under the regency of a planet under the term ''vāra'', the days of the week being called ''āditya-, soma-, maṅgala-, budha-, guru-, śukra-,'' and ''śani-vāra''. ''śukrá'' is a name of Venus (regarded as a son of Bhṛgu); ''guru'' is here a title of Bṛhaspati, and hence of Jupiter; ''budha'' "Mercury" is regarded as a son of ''Soma'', that is, the Moon.<ref>Monier-Williams, ''Sanskrit-English Dictionary'' (1899), s.v. ''vāra''.</ref>

==== Northeast Asian languages ====

=== East Asian tradition === The East Asian naming system for the days of the week closely parallels that of the Latin system and is ordered after the "Seven Luminaries" ({{lang|zh|七曜}} {{transliteration|zh|qī yào}}), which consists of the Sun, Moon and the five classical planets visible to the naked eye.

The Chinese had apparently adopted the seven-day week from the Hellenistic system by the 4th century AD, although by which route is not entirely clear. It was again transmitted to China in the 8th century AD by Manichaeans, via the country of Kang (a Central Asian polity near Samarkand).<ref>The Chinese encyclopaedia ''Cihai'' ({{lang|zh|辭海}}) under the entry for "seven luminaries calendar" ({{lang|zh|七曜曆}}, {{transliteration|zh|qī yào lì}}) has: "method of recording days according to the seven luminaries [{{lang|zh|七曜}} {{transliteration|zh|qī yào}}]. China normally observes the following order: Sun, Mon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, and Saturn. Seven days make one week, which is repeated in a cycle. Originated in ancient Babylon (or ancient Egypt according to one theory). Used by the Romans at the time of the 1st century AD, later transmitted to other countries. This method existed in China in the 4th century AD. It was also transmitted to China by Manichaeans in the 8th century AD from the country of Kang ({{lang|zh|康}}) in Central Asia" (translation after [http://www.cjvlang.com/Dow/dowjpn.html Bathrobe's Days of the Week in Chinese, Japanese & Vietnamese, plus Mongolian and Buryat] (cjvlang.com)</ref> The 4th-century AD date, according to the ''Cihai'' encyclopedia,{{year needed|date=April 2015}} is due to a reference to Fan Ning ({{lang|zh|范寧}}), an astrologer of the Jin dynasty. The renewed adoption from Manichaeans in the 8th century AD (Tang dynasty) is documented with the writings of the Chinese Buddhist monk Yijing and the Ceylonese Buddhist monk Bu Kong.

The Chinese transliteration of the planetary system was soon brought to Japan by the Japanese monk Kobo Daishi; surviving diaries of the Japanese statesman Fujiwara no Michinaga show the seven-day system in use in Heian Period Japan as early as 1007. In Japan, the seven-day system was kept in use (for astrological purposes) until its promotion to a full-fledged (Western-style) calendrical basis during the Meiji era. In China, with the founding of the Republic of China in 1911, Monday through Saturday in China are now named by their numbers, with Monday as "weekday 1" and Saturday as "weekday 6".

== Numbered days of the week == === Days numbered from Monday === ISO prescribes Monday as the first day of the week with ISO-8601 for software date formats.

The Slavic, Baltic and Uralic languages (except Finnish and partially Estonian and Võro) adopted numbering but took Monday rather than Sunday as the "first day".<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Falk |first=Michael |year=2004 |title=Astronomical names for the days of the week |journal=Journal of the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada |volume=93 |issue=1999–06 |pages=122–133 |arxiv=astro-ph/0307398 |bibcode=1999JRASC..93..122F |doi=10.1016/j.newast.2003.07.002 |s2cid=118954190}}</ref> This convention is also found in some Austronesian languages whose speakers were converted to Christianity by European missionaries.<ref>Gray, 2012.

In Slavic languages, some of the names correspond to numerals after Sunday: compare Russian ''vtornik'' ({{lang|ru|вторник}}) "Tuesday" and ''vtoroj'' ({{lang|ru|второй}}) "the second", ''chetverg'' ({{lang|ru|четверг}}) "Thursday" and ''chetvjortyj'' ({{lang|ru|четвёртый}}) "the fourth", ''pyatnitsa'' ({{lang|ru|пятница}}) "Friday" and ''pyatyj'' ({{lang|ru|пятый}}) "the fifth"; see also the notes regarding irregularities.

A number of Bantu languages have days numbered from Monday as an influence from Western missionaries. They brought along with them working days, e.g. in Setswana: Labobedi (the second working day – Tuesday), Laboraro (the third working day), Labone (the fourth working day), Labotlhano (the fifth working day). Sunday became known as the day of going to church when the iron (''tshipi'') bell rings, thus Latshipi.<ref>{{Cite web | title=Archived copy | url=https://www.unisa.ac.za/static/corporate_web/Content/UnisaOpen/freeOnlineCourse/PDF/Setswana/Learn%20online%20Setswana%20-%20Theme%203.pdf | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200823062717/https://www.unisa.ac.za/static/corporate_web/Content/UnisaOpen/freeOnlineCourse/PDF/Setswana/Learn%20online%20Setswana%20-%20Theme%203.pdf | archive-date=2020-08-23}}</ref>

In Standard Chinese, the week is referred to as the "Stellar Period" ({{lang-zh|c=星期|p=Xīngqī}}) or "Cycle" ({{lang-zh|p=Zhōu|s=周|t=週}}).

The modern Chinese names for the days of the week are based on a simple numerical sequence. The word for "week" is followed by a number indicating the day: "Monday" is literally the "Stellar Period One"/"Cycle One", that is, the "First day of the Stellar Period/Cycle", etc. The exception is Sunday, where 日 (''rì''), "day" or "Sun", is used instead of a number.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Days of the Week in Chinese: Three Different Words for 'Week' |url=http://www.cjvlang.com/Dow/dowchin.html |access-date=27 October 2016 |website=Cjvlang}}</ref> A slightly informal and colloquial variant to 日 is 天 (''tiān'') "day", "sky" or "heaven". However, the term 週天 is rarely used compared to 星期天.

Accordingly, the notational abbreviation of the days of the week uses the numbers, for example, 一 for "M" or "Mon(.)", "Monday". The abbreviation of Sunday uses exclusively 日 and not 天. Attempted usage of 天 as such will not be understood.

Colloquially, the week is also known as the "Worship" ({{lang-zh|p=Lǐbài|s=礼拜|t=禮拜}}), with the names of the days of the week formed accordingly. This is also dominant in certain regional varieties of Chinese.

The following is a table of the Mandarin names of the days of the weeks. Note that standard Taiwan Mandarin pronounces 期 as ''qí'', so 星期 is instead ''xīngqí''. While all varieties of Mandarin may pronounce 星期 as ''xīngqi'' and 禮拜/礼拜 as ''lǐbai'', the second syllable with the neutral tone, this is not reflected in the table either for legibility.

Several Sinitic languages refer to Saturday as {{lang|zh|週末}} "end of the week" and Sunday as {{lang|zh|禮拜}}. Examples include Shenyang Mandarin, Hanyuan Sichuanese Mandarin, Taishanese, {{ill|Yudu Hakka|zh|于都話}}, Teochew, Ningbonese, and Loudi Old Xiang. Some Hakka varieties in Taiwan still use the traditional Luminaries.

=== Days numbered from Sunday === Sunday comes first in order in calendars shown in the table below. In the Abrahamic tradition, the first day of the week is Sunday. Biblical Sabbath (corresponding to Saturday) is when God rested from six-day Creation, making the day following the Sabbath the first day of the week (corresponding to Sunday). Seventh-day Sabbaths were sanctified for celebration and rest. After the week was adopted in early Christianity, Sunday remained the first day of the week, but also gradually displaced Saturday as the day of celebration and rest, being considered the Lord's Day.

Saint Martin of Dumio (c. 520–580), archbishop of Braga, decided not to call days by pagan gods and to use ecclesiastic terminology to designate them. While the custom of numbering the days of the week was mostly prevalent in the Eastern Church, Portuguese and Mirandese, due to Martin's influence, are the only Romance languages in which the names of the days come from numbers rather than planetary names.

Members of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) historically objected to the pagan etymologies of days and months and substituted numbering, beginning with First Day for Sunday.

Icelandic is a special case within the Germanic languages, maintaining only the Sun and Moon (''sunnudagur'' and ''mánudagur'' respectively), while dispensing with the names of the explicitly heathen gods in favour of a combination of numbered days and days whose names are linked to pious or domestic routine (''föstudagur'', "Fasting Day" and ''laugardagur'', "Washing Day"). The "washing day" is also used in other North Germanic languages, but otherwise the names correspond to those of English.

=== Days numbered from Saturday === In Swahili, the day begins at sunrise, unlike in the Arabic and Hebrew calendars where the day starts at sunset (therefore an offset of twelve hours on average), and unlike in the Western world where the day starts at midnight (therefore an offset of six hours on average). Saturday is therefore the first day of the week, as it is the day that includes the first night of the week in Arabic.

Etymologically speaking, Swahili has two "fifth" days. The words for Saturday through Wednesday contain the Bantu-derived Swahili words for "one" through "five". The word for Thursday, ''Alhamisi'', is of Arabic origin and means "the fifth" (day). The word for Friday, ''Ijumaa'', is also Arabic and means (day of) "gathering" for the Friday noon prayers in Islam.

In Judaeo-Spanish (Ladino), which is mainly based on a medieval version of Spanish, the five days of Monday–Friday closely follow the Spanish names. For Sunday is used the Arabic name, which is based on numbering (meaning "Day one" or "First day"), because a Jewish language was not likely to adapt a name based on "Lord's Day" for Sunday. As in Spanish, the Ladino name for Saturday is based on ''Sabbath''. However, as a Jewish language—and with Saturday being the actual day of rest in the Jewish community—Ladino directly adapted the Hebrew name, ''Shabbat''.<ref>See the image in {{Cite web |last=Anthony |first=Charlotte |date=22 July 2012 |title=Rushing to preserve Ladino legacies |url=http://www.crescentcityjewishnews.com/rushing-to-preserve-ladino-legacies/ |access-date=31 May 2016 |website=Crescent City Jewish News}} The Ladino names are in the right-hand column, written in Hebrew characters.</ref>
