The Roman and Norse Origin of the Days of the Week

Why is Thursday called Thursday? Why is Saturday Saturday? While many recognize Thursday as being derived from "Thor's Day" in reference to the Norse God, the names for the other days of the week are also rich in meaning.

In the Irish language, Gaelic, the third day of week - Tuesday in English - is De Mairt. Here is some more info: First, the basics If you simply need to recite the days of the week, here is what you would say: Dé Luain (Jay LOO-in): Monday Dé Máirt (Jay march): Tuesday Dé Céadaoin (Jay KAY-deen): Wednesday Déardaoin (JAY-ar-deen): Thursday Dé hAoine (Jay HEEN-yeh): Friday Dé Sathairn (Jay SA-ha-rin): Saturday Dé Domhnaigh (Jay DOH-nee): Sunday

Hi, The question remains, why chose the planet, sun, moon names? Where does the sequence come from? what is the logic behind the sequence? The answer is found in the ancient Indian astronomy. It clearly explains the sequence, why chose these heavenly bodies / Astronomical Objects (AOs). I will give a quick explanation here. A lot of people may not understand it because of its astronomical & calculative nature. AOs in a sequence - Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Sun, Venus, Mercury, Moon. These AOs are put in sequence of their revolution period with respect to an observer on the planet earth. You can check and confirm. Basically count from 1st AO to 24th AO in the above AO sequence in cyclic manner, next 1st AO will be the following day in cyclic manner. In Indian astronomy every 1st AO is the lord of the day and 2nd to 24th are lord of the hours in exact translations from works of Aryabhatta and in Surya Siddhanta (indian ancient text of astronomy older than 3000 BCE or perhaps 5500 BCE as calculated based on the recorded observations in it) I will give names in Indian Sanskrit. You will see clearly all AOs' names are in weekdays in a logical sequence in Indian weekday names. 1st day - Saturn / Shani (Saturday / Shani-vaar) (since Count 24th is Mars and count 1st is Sun) 2nd day - Sun / Ravi (Sunday / Ravi-aar) (again count from Sun as 1st to 24th as Mercury. means following 1st will be Moon in sequence) 3rd day - Moon / Som (Monday / Som-vaar) (again count from Moon as 1st to 24th as Jupiter. means following 1st will be Mars in sequence) 4th day - Mars / Mangal (Tuesday / Mangal-vaar) similarly follow the above calculation. 5th day - Mercury / Budh (Wedneday / Budh-vaar) 6th day - Jupiter / Guru (Thursday / Guru-vaar) 7th day - Venus / Shukra (Friday / Shukra-vaar) next week 1st day - Saturn / Shani (Saturday / Shani-vaar) . . . Let me know if you have any questions

You’ve got a mistake in the Latin name for Thursday. It’s Dies Iovis with an I or Dies Jovis with a J, but absolute not dies Lovis with an L! Initial I in Jupiter’s name was pronounced as a “y” sound and is sometimes represented with a J.

[@independenttraininginstitu3963]

Thank you Mr riley Very informative

[@royarievilo1580]

Ofc I’m okay with this,it’s literally our history and heritage

[@genericuser-1]

do you follow your forefathers even though they knew nothing nor were they guided?

[@tomference4618]

..really would like a teaching over the "assumed" or "not" uninterrupted seven-day cycle the "whole world" adheres to.

[@virgoviking2331]

Hail the All Father!

[@brantdanger]

Yeah, I'm OK with that.

[@jovincegigilove]

This is a great eye opener

[@alfresco8442]

It's interesting that the W. Germanic languages all seem to have adopted Saturn for Saturday. Roman influence there? The Scandinavians, on the other hand, stuck with it being the rather more practical Wash Day.

[@aubrey_dunkin6032]

Here in wisconsin museum theres shows and my feild trip we go and we see either a space show or a show like this im like okay i get it now lemme turn on the notebook

[@BradleyOsborn]

It’s Dies Iovis, not Dies Lovis. J later developed from I, giving us the more familiar Jovis and Jove.

[@craigjacobs5858]

This is a very good video except for the glaring of 'Lovis.' It's a capital "i" in Latin, which later becomes a "j". That's why the name for Thursday in Romance languages is Jueves, Jeudi, Giovedì.

The image of Saturn eating a child in going to haunt me now. Also, you didn’t pronounce Þūnresdæg.

[@garreth629]

It was that image that made me remember Saturn was the equivalent to Cronus. That's Saturn (Cronus) eating one of his own children. He ate five of his children and thought he had eaten his sixth child Jupiter (Zeus). He would later be forced to throw up those children by Jupiter once he grew older. After that the siblings would overthrow Saturn and banish him to Tartarus, basically the deepest depths of hell.

NOT IN PORTUGUESE!!! I'M BRAZILIAN AND THE NAMES OF THE DAYS OF THE WEEK IN PORTUGUESE ARE COMPLETELY DIFFERENT FROM GERMANIC AND EVEN FROM OTHER ROMANCE, LATIN LANGUAGES: MONDAY/ LUNES/ SEGUNDA FEIRA. TUESDAY/ MARTES/ TERÇA FEIRA. ETC

More on days of the week in Irish/Gaelic: So where did these names come from, anyway? If you’ve studied a language such as French or Spanish, some of these names may have a familiar feel. We don’t know if the ancient Irish had special names for each day of the week, but the names in use today came from Latin. Some of the names come from ancient Roman pagan practice: Dé Luain = Moon Day (From the Latin “luna”: Moon). Dé Máirt = Mars’ Day (From the Roman god Mars). Dé Sathairn = Saturn’s Day (From the Roman god Saturn). Other names come from early Christian practice, and were almost certainly brought to Ireland by the monks: Dé Céadaoin = Day of the first fast Déardaoin = Day between the fasts Dé hAoine = Day of the [primary] fast These three came from the monastic practice of fasting on Wednesday and Friday. Dé Domhnaigh = Day of the Lord (from the Latin “dominus”: lord)

[@mohill1003]

SO WHAT ARE THE BIBLICAL NAMES OF DAYS?

[@CC-hj3og]

eye opening revelations

[@michellecostello9242]

Odin is attributed to Saturn not Mercury.

[@Eman-wj8gq]

I don't mean to undermine the Christians but this should help you in your faith. If you have ever said "Thank god it's Friday." And even if you are a great Christian and do many wonderful things know this you have openly blasphemed the lord your god. And assumed you never have and that assumption will place you in hell. Think of all the people who died believing and have never read this post or any like it? Narrow is the path. Much more narrower than the strong in faith could have ever known.

[@dontgivamonkeyz]

The English named the days after Anglo-Saxon (Germanic) god's not Norse.

[@grandbeatz202]

I mean what a like

[@1national_bwf357]

The Romans incorporated names for the days of the week from these deities so some truth must be in their origin for all we know the Roman god could be the pagan god

[@genericuser-1]

There is only one God

[@salahdin6382]

Even we shameless Muslims are ok with it and have no problem and Allah is still so patient and Merciful and not punishing us following paganism while we have our own days and months.

[@soukainalehmissi4313]

i am not truly , the only names of the week good to go are in arabic because the name meaning is the number of the day sun day is called the first day = al ahad ....

[@nexuser6886]

See why God Sent his Final book in arabic, a langage that has not been corrupted by paganism

[@mareduave6870]

Nexuser Nexuser quran is not book from the God of christian.. its another pagan god

[@nexuser6886]

Mar Eduave I fail to see how it advocates paganism when the worship of 1 and only God is its fundamental aspect

[@Zyvo2]

Syriel Moon unfortunately Christians seem to pray to the “Holy Trinity” not God. So many think they are only praying to one god, yet if you ask any Christian if they Pray to Jesus, they will say the holy trinity, not God. So you are right that there is no “Christian God” there are 3, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit; most Christians like to think of it as one. In which case what separates Christianity from the Norse Odin who literally has 3 names? Also, wouldn’t Allah simply mean All Father, just very poorly spoken in English tongue.

[@jimkleinhans6103]

This is wrong

[@CianaCorto]

Okay, so where's your counterpoint then?

[@jimkleinhans6103]

@@CianaCorto my counterpoint is it isn't correct. I don't get paid to teach you. Im just pointing out misinformation. Do your own research.
