It morte likely comes from Shabbat/Shaboos (rest) unfortunately based on a lunar calender (4 days and a sabbath I believe) or Shabbatu (pagan Sabbath) based on the babylonian calender which were probably combined knowing catholic tradition and it's love of incorperation of pagan bays.
Sabbath can also be used weekly, yearly or once every 7 years.
Typical Sabbath (Shabbat) was biblicall from Friday night to Sat night. Some Christians do celebrate that (seventh day adventists ,etc.). Those who celebrate it on Sunday usually refer to it as "the Lord's day". The Catholic Church started the "tradition" of Sunday sabbath, with no Biblical doctrine. The reformation is when the idea of Christ being born on the First day of the week got interposed with the Sabbath. The Christian that observes Sunday sabbath, is almost always a reformist, and cvelebrating the Lord's birth, rather than the OT tradition of remembering the day of rest. I as a Christian who celebrates on Sunday, can remember the Lord's day of rest and what it symbolizes in scripture and to me on what day I like as I don't adhere to the written mossaic law, or use it to condemn myself or others. I celebrate the Lord's birth and the coming of the judgement (prophetic day of rest for God's creation) as well as remember the story of creation on Sunday, because it's both convenient (We worship in a messianic temple on Sunday, they have saturday Shabbat) and appropriate to my understanding of scripture and it's aplication to me.

"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
