Tuesday - Tīw's Day (god of single combat, victory and heroic glory in Norse mythology)
Thursday - day of Woden (Odin)
Thursday - Thor's day
Friday - day of Frige (old English godess of love)
Saturday - Saturn's day
Sunday - Sun's day
Monday - Moon's day
Even in French Tuesday is "mardi" (Marsday), Wednesday is "mercredi" (Mercuiy-day), Thursday is "jeudi" (Jove-day), and Friday is "vendredi" (Venus-day).
Do I even have to mention name of the months?
January - named for two faced roman god Janus. One face looks to old year, other to upcoming year.
February - named for old roman ritual of purification
March - Mars!
April - Aphrodite
and so on and on....
The great pity is that we missed an opportunity to have a planet called 'George'.
