Days of the Week in Spanish

In Spanish, as in most earth languages including English, the days of the week are named after celestial bodies (and their associated gods), probably the seven brightest in order from brightest down.

Below I list the day of the week in English, any germanic god related to the English word for that day, the associated planet/god, and the Spanish word for the day of the week:

Sunday - Sun - domingo (from dominus = lord in Latin)

Monday - Moon (that lunar body) - lunes

Tuesday (Tiw in germanic languages) - Mars - martes

Wednesday (Woden in germanic languages) - Mercury - miercoles

Thursday (Thor in germanic languages) - Jupiter (the jovian planet) - jueves

Friday (Freya in germanic languages) - Venus - viernes

Saturday - Saturn - sabado (the sabbath for Jews and some early Christians)
