Daniel Scocco and Ravi,,, it makes me wonder too. Perhaps somebody ever heard about the chain culture between the Norway etc or north culture and the hindi culture. I mean there is a match point each other in their culture. like the same or almost same name in their God and Goddes. if ya have any information, i would like to know :) Roshawn and Merav, it seems same with islamic culture, or other wise almost same. But in Indonesia, we call day on the week by the ordinal number or the name day that every country have in the phrase. number 1 with ahad from wahid (1 in arabic languange) first is for monday and "MINGGU" in Indonesia language, number 2 for sunday (isnain in arabic language) and we call it with SENIN, number 3 for tuesday (tsala in arabic languange) and we call it with SELASA number 4 for wednesday (arba'a in arabic langunage) and we call it with RABU number 5 for thursday, (5=khomsah in arabic) and we call the day with KAMIS number 6 for Friday (6= sittah in arabic numerical) but we call it JUM'AH or JUM'AT because it GOD Gift for moslem. and number 7 for saturday (7=sab'ah in arabiic numerical, it looks like put it because Jew's Day) and we call it SABTU, looks sound same with SHABBAT :) thanks to approve, admin ,and soon except saturday, like in Jew culture or languange, we , Admin, please met y.

I'm from Israel, and in Hebrew we call the days of the week by their ordinal number: Sunday= first= (RISHON) Monday= second = (SHENNI) and so on... but we call the seventh day SHABBAT (like a sabbatical), so our day off is Shabbat (Saturday) instead of Sunday. Have a great week! You are right, Roshawn!

I knew that the weekdays were named in honor of pagan gods, but where the names originated was something I didn't know. So here's my $0.02: when God created the earth, the first six days of the week didn't have names at all; they were only referred to by the ordinal number in which they occurred in the week. Only the seventh day, what we call Saturday, had a name. It was called the Sabbath. God wanted this day to be special for mankind, which is why He named it and sanctified it. (If you don't believe me, read the Bible and notice that they always referred to the days of the week as the first day, the second day, and so forth. But when the seventh day is mentioned, it's pretty much always referred to by its name, the Sabbath.) Interesting post.
