In a vast number of languages, the names given to the seven days of the [[week]] are derived from the names of the [[classical planet]]s in [[Hellenistic astronomy]], which were in turn named after contemporary deities, a system introduced by the [[Sumer]]ians and later adopted by the [[Babylonia]]ns from whom the [[Roman Empire]] adopted the system during [[late antiquity]].<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.timeanddate.com/calendar/days/first-day-of-the-week.html |title=What is the First Day of the Week? }}</ref> In some other languages, the days are named after corresponding deities of the regional culture, beginning either with [[Sunday]] or with [[Monday]]. The [[seven-day week]] was adopted in early Christianity from the [[Hebrew calendar#Weeks|Hebrew calendar]], and gradually replaced the Roman [[internundinum]].{{Citation needed|date=June 2021}}

Sunday remained the first day of the week, being considered the day of the sun god [[Sol Invictus]] and the [[Lord's Day]], while the Jewish [[Sabbath]] remained the seventh.
The Babylonians invented the actual{{Clarify|date=October 2024}} seven-day week in 600 BCE, with Emperor Constantine making the Day of the Sun ({{lang|la|dies Solis}}, "Sunday") a legal holiday centuries later.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Schaff |first=Philip |url=https://archive.org/details/historychristia01schagoog |title=History of the Christian Church Vol. III |date=1884 |publisher=T&T Clark |location=Edinburgh |page=[https://archive.org/details/historychristia01schagoog/page/n299 380] |access-date=15 March 2019}}</ref>

In the international standard [[ISO 8601]], Monday is treated as the first day of the week, but in many countries it is counted as the second day of the week.

== Days named after planets ==

=== Greco-Roman tradition ===
{{Further|Week|Planetary hours}}
Between the first and third centuries CE, the [[Roman Empire]] gradually replaced the eight-day Roman [[nundinal cycle]] with the seven-day week. The earliest evidence for this new system is a Pompeiian graffito referring to 6 February (''ante diem viii idus Februarias'') of the year 60 CE as ''dies solis'' ("Sunday").<ref>''Nerone Caesare Augusto Cosso Lentuol Cossil fil. Cos. VIII idus Febr(u)arius dies solis, luna XIIIIX nun(dinae) Cumis, V (idus Februarias) nun(dinae) Pompeis''. Robert Hannah, "Time in Written Spaces", in: Peter Keegan, Gareth Sears, Ray Laurence (eds.), ''Written Space in the Latin West, 200 BC to  300 AD'', A&C Black, 2013,
[https://books.google.com/books?id=PeVLAQAAQBAJ&pg=PA89 p. 89].</ref> Another early witness is a reference to a lost treatise by [[Plutarch]], written in about 100 CE, which addressed the question of: "Why are the days named after the planets reckoned in a different order from the 'actual' order?"<ref>E. G. Richards, ''Mapping Time, the Calendar and History'', Oxford 1999. p. 269</ref> The treatise is lost, but the answer to the question is known; see [[planetary hours]].{{citation needed|date=May 2023}}

The [[Ptolemaic system]] of planetary spheres asserts that the order of the heavenly bodies from the farthest to the closest to the Earth is [[Saturn]], [[Jupiter]], [[Mars]], [[Sun]], [[Venus]], [[Mercury (planet)|Mercury]], and the [[Moon]]; objectively, the planets are ordered from slowest to fastest moving as they appear in the night sky.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Falk |first=Michael |date=19 March 1999 |title=Astronomical names for the days of the week |journal=Journal of the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada |volume=93 |issue=1999–06 |pages=122–133 |bibcode=1999JRASC..93..122F}}</ref>

The days were named after the classical planets of Hellenistic astrology, in the order: Sun (''[[Helios]]''), Moon (''[[Selene]]''), Mars (''[[Ares]]''), Mercury (''[[Hermes]]''), Jupiter (''[[Zeus]]''), Venus (''[[Aphrodite]]''), and Saturn (''[[Cronus]]'').<ref>{{Cite web |date=2016-05-28 |title=Days of the Week Meaning and Origin |url=http://astrologyclub.org/days-week-meaning-origin/ |access-date=2016-12-25 |website=Astrologyclub.org}}</ref>

The seven-day week spread throughout the Roman Empire in late antiquity.
By the fourth century CE, it was in wide use throughout the Empire. {{Citation needed|date=March 2022}}

==== Romance languages ====
Except for [[Portuguese language|Portuguese]] and [[Mirandese]], the Romance languages preserved the Latin names, except for the names of Sunday, which was replaced by ''[dies] Dominicus (Dominica)'', that is, "the [[Lord's Day]]", and of Saturday, which was named for the Jewish [[Sabbath]]. Mirandese and Portuguese use numbered weekdays, but retain ''sábado'' and ''demingo''/''domingo'' for weekends.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Days of the week in Portuguese |url=http://www.learn-portuguese-with-rafa.com/days-of-the-week-in-portuguese.html}}</ref> Meanwhile, [[Galician language|Galician]] occasionally uses them alongside the traditional Latin-derived names, albeit to a lesser extent (see [[#Days numbered from Sunday|below]]).

! rowspan="2" | [[Old Irish]]<ref>replacing a system of n "one-, three-, five-, ten-, or fifteen-day periods"  (>[[Dáibhí Ó Cróinín]], 2003, p.&nbsp;7). MS. 17 (now held at St. John's College, Oxford), dating at least from 1043, records five-week-day lists, which it names as follows: ''secundum Hebreos'' (according to the Hebrews); ''secundum antiquos gentiles'' (according to the ancient gentiles, ''i.e.'', Romans); ''secundum Siluestrum papam'' (according to [[Pope Sylvester I]], ''i.e.'', a list derived from the [[apocryphal]] ''Acta Syluestri''); ''secundum Anglos'' (according to the English); ''secundum Scottos'' (according to the Irish).</ref>
|''Diu''<ref>"we have a clear reflex of the Indo-European nominative singular, with a lengthened grade, giving archaic [[Old Irish]] ''diu''; it is suggested that what we have in the Oxford list and in [[Cormac's Glossary]] is the oldest form of Old Irish ''dia'', representing the old [[nominative]] case of the [[noun]] in adverbial usage." [[Dáibhí Ó Cróinín]], 2003, p.&nbsp;12</ref> ''srol''<br />''Dies scrol''<ref>The word ''scrol'' is glossed in [[Sanas Cormaic]] as ''Scroll .i. soillsi, unde est aput Scottos diu srol.i. dies solis'' "Srcoll, that is brightness, whence 'diu srol' among the Irish, that is Sunday".</ref>
|''Diu luna''<ref>Ó Cróinín has ''Diu luna'' as "represent[ing] the transitional form between [[Latin]] ''dies lunae'' and the later, [[Classical language|Classical]] [[Old Irish]] ''dia luain'' ... a translation of, not a [[calque]] on, the Latin ... [It] would seem to reflect a pre-assimilation state in respect of both words," [[Dáibhí Ó Cróinín]], 2003, p.&nbsp;13</ref>
|''Diu mart''<ref>"The Irish word perhaps derives from Latin forms where cases other than the [[genitive case|genitive]] were used, e.g., Marte."[[Dáibhí Ó Cróinín]], 2003, p.&nbsp;15</ref>
| ''Diu iath''<ref>A form unique to Irish, meaning uncertain. In Old Irish, ''íath'' can mean "land." A "very old" word for Wednesday, ''Mercúir'' (borrowed from the Latin (''dies'') ''Mercurii''), does occur in early [[Leinster]] poems but Ó Cróinín is of the belief that ''Diu eathamon'' "reflects a still older Irish word for 'Wednesday.'"</ref>
|''Diu eathamon''<ref>A form unique to Irish. Ó Cróinín writes, "I suggest that it means simply 'on Thursday' ... it is temporal [[dative case|dat.]] of an ''n''-stem (nom. sg. ''etham'', gen. sg. ''ethamon'' – as in our Oxford list – and acc./dat. sg. ''ethamain'')." (2003, p.&nbsp;17) He furthermore suggests that ''etham'' ('arable land') "may be a noun of agency from ''ith'' (gen. sg. ''etho''), with a meaning like ''corn-maker'' or some such thing; ''Diu eathamon'' might then be a day for sowing seed in a weekly regimen of activities such as we find in ''Críth Gablach''." [[Dáibhí Ó Cróinín]], 2003, p.&nbsp;17. The form ''Ethomuin'' is found in [[Rawlinson B 502]].</ref>

=== Germanic tradition ===
{{Further|Germanic calendar}}
The [[Germanic peoples]] adapted the system introduced by the Romans by substituting the [[Germanic mythology|Germanic deities]] for the Roman ones (with the exception of ''Saturday'') in a process known as {{lang|la|[[interpretatio germanica]]}}.
The date of the introduction of this system is not known exactly, but it must have happened later than 100 AD but before the introduction of Christianity during the 6th to 7th centuries, i.e., during the final phase or soon after the collapse of the [[Western Roman Empire]].<ref>{{Cite book |last=Grimm |first=Jacob |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=I2WhHX2peKEC&pg=PA123 |title=Teutonic Mythology |publisher=Courier Corporation |year=2004 |isbn=978-0-486-43546-6 |pages=122–123}}</ref> This period is later than the [[Common Germanic]] stage, but still during the phase of undifferentiated [[West Germanic languages|West Germanic]]. The names of the days of the week in [[North Germanic languages]] were not [[calque]]d from Latin directly, but taken from the West Germanic names.
* '''[[Sunday]]''': Old English {{lang|ang|Sunnandæg}} ({{IPA|ang|ˈsunnɑndæj|pron}}), meaning "sun's day". This is a translation of the Latin phrase {{lang|la|diēs Sōlis}}. English, like most of the [[Germanic languages]], preserves the day's association with the sun. Many other European languages, including all of the [[Romance languages]], have changed its name to the equivalent of "the Lord's day" (based on Ecclesiastical Latin {{lang|la|dies Dominica}}). In both West Germanic and North Germanic mythology, the Sun is personified as [[Sól (Sun)|Sunna/Sól]].
* '''[[Monday]]''': Old English {{lang|ang|Mōnandæg}} ({{IPA|ang|ˈmoːnɑndæj|pron}}), meaning "Moon's day". This is equivalent to the Latin name {{lang|la|diēs Lūnae}}. In North Germanic mythology, the Moon is personified as [[Máni]].
* '''[[Tuesday]]''': Old English {{lang|ang|Tīwesdæg}} ({{IPA|ang|ˈtiːwezdæj|pron}}), meaning "Tiw's day". [[Tiwaz|Tiw]] (Norse {{lang|non|[[Týr]]}}) was a one-handed god associated with single combat and pledges in [[Norse mythology]] and also attested prominently in wider [[Germanic paganism]]. The name of the day is also related to the Latin name {{lang|la|diēs Mārtis}}, "Day of [[Mars (mythology)|Mars]]" (the Roman god of war).
* '''[[Wednesday]]''': Old English {{lang|ang|Wōdnesdæg}} ({{IPA|ang|ˈwoːdnezdæj|pron}}) meaning the day of the Germanic god [[Woden]] (known as [[Odin|Óðinn]] among the North Germanic peoples), and a prominent god of the Anglo-Saxons (and other Germanic peoples) in England until about the seventh century. This corresponds to the Latin counterpart {{lang|la|diēs Mercuriī}}, "Day of [[Mercury (mythology)|Mercury]]", as both are deities of magic and knowledge. Importantly, both are also [[psychopomps]], carrying the souls of the dead to the afterlife. The German ''Mittwoch'', the Low German {{lang|de|Middeweek}}, the ''miðviku-'' in Icelandic {{lang|is|miðvikudagur}} and the Finnish {{lang|fi|keskiviikko}} all mean "mid-week".
* '''[[Thursday]]''': Old English {{lang|ang|Þūnresdæg}} ({{IPA|ang|ˈθuːnrezdæj|pron}}), meaning '{{lang|ang|Þunor}}'s day'. {{lang|ang|Þunor}} means [[thunder]] or its personification, the Norse god known in Modern English as [[Thor]]. Similarly Dutch {{lang|nl|donderdag}}, German {{lang|de|Donnerstag}} ('thunder's day'), Finnish {{lang|fi|torstai}}, and Scandinavian {{lang|da|torsdag}} ('Thor's day'). "Thor's day" corresponds to Latin {{lang|la|diēs Iovis}}, "day of [[Jupiter (mythology)|Jupiter]]" (the Roman god of thunder).
* '''[[Friday]]''': Old English {{lang|ang|Frīgedæg}} ({{IPA|ang|ˈfriːjedæj|pron}}), meaning the day of the Anglo-Saxon goddess {{lang|ang|[[Frigg|Frīg]]}}. The Norse name for the planet Venus was {{lang|non|Friggjarstjarna}}, '[[Frigg]]'s star'.<ref>{{Cite web |title=friggjarstjarna |url=https://onp.ku.dk/onp/onp.php?o23978 |access-date=2021-07-08 |website=Dictionary of Old Norse Prose |publisher=University of Copenhagen}}</ref> It is based on the Latin {{lang|la|diēs Veneris}}, "Day of [[Venus (mythology)|Venus]]".
* '''[[Saturday]]''': named after the Roman god [[Saturn (mythology)|Saturn]] associated with the Titan [[Cronus]], father of Zeus and many Olympians. Its original Anglo-Saxon rendering was {{lang|ang|Sæturnesdæg}} ({{IPA|ang|ˈsæturnezdæj|pron}}). In Latin, it was {{lang|la|diēs Sāturnī}}, "Day of Saturn". The Nordic ''laugardagur'', ''leygardagur'', ''laurdag'', etc. deviate significantly as they have no reference to either the Norse or the Roman pantheon; they derive from [[Old Norse|Old Nordic]] {{lang|non|laugardagr}}, literally "washing-day". The German {{lang|de|Sonnabend}} (mainly used in northern and eastern Germany) and the Low German {{lang|nds|Sünnavend}} mean "Sunday Eve"; the German word {{lang|de|Samstag}} derives from the name for [[Shabbat]].

=== Hindu tradition ===
{{further|Navagraha}}
[[Hindu astrology]] uses the concept of days under the regency of a planet{{clarify|date=October 2021}} under the term ''vāsara/vāra'', the days of the week being called [[Sūrya|sūrya-/ravi''-'']]/āditya'', [[Soma (drink)|chandra-/soma-]], [[maṅgala]]-, [[budha]]-, [[Brihaspati|guru-/bṛhaspati-]], [[śukra]]-,'' and ''[[śani]]-vāsara''. ''śukrá'' is a name of Venus (regarded as a son of [[Bhṛgu]]); ''[[guru]]'' is here a title of [[Bṛhaspati]], and hence of Jupiter; ''budha'' "Mercury" is regarded as a son of ''Soma'', that is, the Moon.<ref>Monier-Williams, ''Sanskrit-English Dictionary'' (1899), s.v. ''vāsara''.</ref> Knowledge of [[Greek astrology]] existed since about the 2nd century BC{{citation needed|date=February 2023}}, but references to the ''vāsara'' occur somewhat later, during the [[Gupta period]] (''[[Yājñavalkya Smṛti]]'', c. 3rd to 5th century AD), that is, at roughly the same period or before the system was introduced in the Roman Empire.{{citation needed|date=January 2018}}

==== Southeast Asian languages ====
The [[Southeast Asia]]n tradition also uses the Hindu names of the days of the week. [[Hindu astrology]] adopted the concept of days under the regency of a planet under the term ''vāra'', the days of the week being called ''[[āditya]]-, [[Soma (deity)|soma]]-, [[maṅgala]]-, [[budha]]-, guru-, [[śukra]]-,'' and ''[[śani]]-vāra''. ''śukrá'' is a name of Venus (regarded as a son of [[Bhṛgu]]); ''[[guru]]'' is here a title of [[Bṛhaspati]], and hence of Jupiter; ''budha'' "Mercury" is regarded as a son of ''Soma'', that is, the Moon.<ref>Monier-Williams, ''Sanskrit-English Dictionary'' (1899), s.v. ''vāra''.</ref>

=== East Asian tradition ===
The [[East Asian]] naming system for the days of the week closely parallels that of the Latin system and is ordered after the "Seven Luminaries" (七曜 ''qī yào''), which consists of the Sun, Moon and the five classical planets visible to the naked eye.

The Chinese had apparently adopted the seven-day week from the Hellenistic system by the 4th century AD, although by which route is not entirely clear. It was again transmitted to China in the 8th century AD by Manichaeans, via the country of [[Kangju|Kang]] (a Central Asian polity near [[Samarkand]]).<ref>The Chinese encyclopaedia  ''[[Cihai]]'' (辭海) under the entry for "seven luminaries calendar" (七曜曆, ''qī yào lì'') has:
"method of recording days according to the seven luminaries [七曜 ''qī yào'']. China normally observes the following order: Sun, Mon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, and Saturn. Seven days make one week, which is repeated in a cycle. Originated in ancient Babylon (or ancient Egypt according to one theory). Used by the Romans at the time of the 1st century AD, later transmitted to other countries. This method existed in China in the 4th century AD. It was also transmitted to China by Manichaeans in the 8th century AD from the country of Kang (康) in Central Asia" (translation after [http://www.cjvlang.com/Dow/dowjpn.html Bathrobe's Days of the Week in Chinese, Japanese & Vietnamese, plus Mongolian and Buryat] (cjvlang.com)</ref>
The 4th-century AD date, according to the ''[[Cihai]]'' encyclopedia,{{year needed|date=April 2015}} is due to a reference to Fan Ning (范寧), an astrologer of the [[Jin dynasty (265–420)|Jin dynasty]]. The renewed adoption from Manichaeans in the 8th century AD ([[Tang dynasty]]) is documented with the writings of the Chinese Buddhist monk [[Yijing (monk)|Yijing]] and the Ceylonese Buddhist monk [[Amoghavajra|Bu Kong]].

The Chinese transliteration of the planetary system was soon brought to [[Japan]] by the Japanese monk [[Kobo Daishi]]; surviving diaries of the Japanese statesman [[Fujiwara no Michinaga]] show the seven-day system in use in [[Heian Period]] Japan as early as 1007. In Japan, the seven-day system was kept in use (for astrological purposes) until its promotion to a full-fledged (Western-style) calendrical basis during the [[Meiji period|Meiji]] era. In China, with the founding of the [[Republic of China (1912–1949)|Republic of China]] in 1911, Monday through Saturday in China are now named after the luminaries implicitly with the numbers.

== Numbered days of the week ==
=== Days numbered from Monday ===
[[International Organization for Standardisation|ISO]] prescribes [[Monday]] as the first day of the week with [[ISO 8601|ISO-8601]] for software date formats.

The [[Slavic languages|Slavic]], [[Baltic languages|Baltic]] and [[Uralic languages]] (except Finnish and partially Estonian and Võro) adopted numbering but took Monday rather than Sunday as the "first day".<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Falk |first=Michael |year=2004 |title=Astronomical names for the days of the week |journal=Journal of the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada |volume=93 |issue=1999–06 |pages=122–133 |arxiv=astro-ph/0307398 |bibcode=1999JRASC..93..122F |doi=10.1016/j.newast.2003.07.002 |s2cid=118954190}}</ref> This convention is also found in some [[Austronesian languages]] whose speakers were converted to Christianity by European missionaries.<ref>Gray, 2012. The Languages of Pentecost Island.</ref>

In Slavic languages, some of the names correspond to numerals after Sunday: compare Russian ''vtornik'' ({{lang|ru|вторник}}) "Tuesday" and ''vtoroj'' ({{lang|ru|второй}}) "the second", ''chetverg'' ({{lang|ru|четверг}}) "Thursday" and ''chetvjortyj'' ({{lang|ru|четвёртый}}) "the fourth", ''pyatnitsa'' ({{lang|ru|пятница}}) "Friday" and ''pyatyj'' ({{lang|ru|пятый}}) "the fifth"; see also [[#Notes|the Notes]].

A number of [[Bantu languages]] have days numbered from Monday as an influence from Western missionaries. They brought along with them working days, e.g. in [[Setswana]]: Labobedi (the second working day - Tuesday), Laboraro (the third working day), Labone (the fourth working day), Labotlhano (the fifth working day). Sunday became known as the day of going to church when the iron (''tshipi'') bell rings, thus Latshipi.<ref>{{Cite web| title=Theme 3: Numbers, Days, Months and Quantities | url=https://www.unisa.ac.za/static/corporate_web/Content/UnisaOpen/freeOnlineCourse/PDF/Setswana/Learn%20online%20Setswana%20-%20Theme%203.pdf | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200823062717/https://www.unisa.ac.za/static/corporate_web/Content/UnisaOpen/freeOnlineCourse/PDF/Setswana/Learn%20online%20Setswana%20-%20Theme%203.pdf | archive-date=2020-08-23}}</ref>

In [[Chinese language|Standard Chinese]], the week is referred to as the "Stellar Period" ({{lang-zh|c=星期|p=Xīngqī}}) or "Cycle" ({{lang-zh|p=Zhōu|s=周|t=週}}).

The modern Chinese names for the days of the week are based on a simple numerical sequence. The word for "week" is followed by a number indicating the day: "Monday" is literally the "Stellar Period One"/"Cycle One", that is, the "First day of the Stellar Period/Cycle", etc. The exception is Sunday, where 日 (''rì''), "day" or "Sun", is used instead of a number.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Days of the Week in Chinese: Three Different Words for 'Week' |url=http://www.cjvlang.com/Dow/dowchin.html |access-date=27 October 2016 |website=Cjvlang}}</ref> A slightly informal and colloquial variant to 日 is 天 (''tiān'') "day", "sky" or "heaven". However, the term 週天 is rarely used compared to 星期天.

Accordingly, the notational abbreviation of the days of the week uses the numbers, for example, 一 for "M" or "Mon(.)", "Monday". The abbreviation of Sunday uses exclusively 日 and not 天. Attempted usage of 天 as such will not be understood.

Colloquially, the week is also known as the "Worship" ({{lang-zh|p=Lǐbài|s=礼拜|t=禮拜}}), with the names of the days of the week formed accordingly. This is also dominant in certain regional varieties of Chinese.

The following is a table of the Mandarin names of the days of the weeks. Note that standard Taiwan Mandarin pronounces 期 as ''qí'', so 星期 is instead ''xīngqí''. While all varieties of Mandarin may pronounce 星期 as ''xīngqi'' and 禮拜/礼拜 as ''lǐbai'', the second syllable with the neutral tone, this is not reflected in the table either for legibility.

Several Sinitic languages refer to Saturday as 週末 "end of the week" and Sunday as 禮拜. Examples include [[Shenyang Mandarin]], Hanyuan [[Sichuanese dialects|Sichuanese]] Mandarin, [[Taishanese]], [[:zh:于都話|Yudu]] Hakka, [[Teochew dialect|Teochew]], [[Ningbo dialect|Ningbonese]], and Loudi [[Old Xiang]]. Some [[Sixian dialect|Hakka varieties in Taiwan]] still use the traditional Luminaries.

=== Days numbered from Sunday ===
Sunday comes first in order in calendars shown in the table below. In the [[Abrahamic religions|Abrahamic tradition]], the first day of the week is [[Sunday]]. [[Biblical Sabbath]] (corresponding to Saturday) is when [[God in Abrahamic religions|God]] rested from [[Genesis creation myth#First account: Creation week|six-day Creation]], making the day following the Sabbath the first day of the week (corresponding to Sunday). [[Seventh-day Sabbath]]s were sanctified for celebration and rest. After the week was adopted in early Christianity, Sunday remained the first day of the week, but also gradually displaced Saturday as the [[Sabbath in Christianity|day of celebration and rest]], being considered the [[Lord's Day]].

[[Martin of Braga|Saint Martin of Dumio]] (c. 520–580), archbishop of [[Braga]], decided not to call days by pagan gods and to use ecclesiastic terminology to designate them. While the custom of numbering the days of the week was mostly prevalent in the [[Eastern Church]], [[Portuguese language|Portuguese]] and [[Mirandese]], due to Martin's influence, are the only [[Romance languages]] in which the names of the days come from numbers rather than planetary names.

Members of the [[Religious Society of Friends]] (Quakers) historically objected to the pagan etymologies of days and months and substituted numbering, beginning with First Day for Sunday.

[[Icelandic language|Icelandic]] is a special case within the Germanic languages, maintaining only the Sun and Moon (''sunnudagur'' and ''mánudagur'' respectively), while dispensing with the names of the explicitly heathen gods in favour of a combination of numbered days and days whose names are linked to pious or domestic routine (''föstudagur'', "Fasting Day" and ''laugardagur'', "Washing Day"). The "washing day" is also used in other [[North Germanic languages]], but otherwise the names correspond to those of English.

=== Days numbered from Saturday ===
In Swahili, the day begins at sunrise, unlike in the Arabic and Hebrew calendars where the day starts at sunset (therefore an offset of twelve hours on average), and unlike in the Western world where the day starts at midnight (therefore an offset of six hours on average). Saturday is therefore the first day of the week, as it is the day that includes the first night of the week in Arabic.

Etymologically speaking, Swahili has two "fifth" days. The words for Saturday through Wednesday contain the Bantu-derived Swahili words for "one" through "five". The word for Thursday, ''Alhamisi'', is of Arabic origin and means "the fifth" (day). The word for Friday, ''Ijumaa'', is also Arabic and means (day of) "gathering" for the Friday noon prayers in Islam.

In Judaeo-Spanish (Ladino), which is mainly based on a medieval version of Spanish, the five days of Monday–Friday closely follow the [[#Romance languages|Spanish names]]. For Sunday is used the Arabic name, which is based on numbering (meaning "Day one" or "First day"), because a Jewish language was not likely to adapt a name based on "Lord's Day" for Sunday. As in Spanish, the Ladino name for Saturday is based on ''Sabbath''. However, as a [[Jewish languages|Jewish language]]—and with Saturday being the actual day of rest in the Jewish community—Ladino directly adapted the Hebrew name, ''[[Shabbat]]''.<ref>See the image in {{Cite web |last=Anthony |first=Charlotte |date=22 July 2012 |title=Rushing to preserve Ladino legacies |url=http://www.crescentcityjewishnews.com/rushing-to-preserve-ladino-legacies/ |access-date=31 May 2016 |website=Crescent City Jewish News}} The Ladino names are in the right-hand column, written in Hebrew characters.</ref>
