A lot of people know that the days of the week come from a relation to the norse and germanic deities and the days of the week, but moast people ive found only know the meaning of thrusday as "thors day" so i thought id post this which i got form an angelfire website that i trust, i hope its of interest.

Sunday --associated with the god Balder. Named after the planetary body also associated with the day: the Sun ("Sun Day").

Monday --associated with the goddess Frigga. Named after the planetary body also associated with the day: the Moon ("Moon Day").

Tuesday --associated with the god Tyr. Named after Tyr's Old English name, Tiu ("Tiu's Day").
