The ancient Greeks and Romans Sunday was a sunny day. For example, in English:
- Sunday - Sunday (Sanday), if translated literally, means "day of the sun." What is named after the god Sol, who personified the luminary.
- Saturday - Saturday (Setudei) is directly related to Saturn. Her Anglo-Saxons did not rename. But in Spanish, Italian and French, this day of the week has the roots like ours, from the Jewish Shabbat.
