livingdebIn 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)
