On that related topic, I think only four, not six, days are named after Teutonic gods:  Tuesday (Tyr, aka "Tiw" in Anglo-Saxon), Wednesday (Odin, aka "Wodnes" in Anglo Saxon), Thursday (Thor, aka "Thunor" in Anglo-Saxon) and Friday (Frigga, aka "Frige" in Anglo-Saxon).  Saturday was named for Saturn, a Roman God.  Sunday was named for the Sun.  Monday was named for the Moon (there is some suggestion that Monday was named for the Anglo-Saxon god of the Moon, Mona, but the name for the god and the Moon were identical.  The etymological sources I have available say the relevant origin is for the Moon.  See, for example, the [http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?search=Monday&searchmode=none Online Etymology Dictionary Entry].  If anyone has access to the Oxford English Dictionary, it if usually taken as the definitive best source for such things.    <font color=navy> [[User: JesusSaves|JesusSaves]] 17 March 2007 23:59 (EDT) </font>
