Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday are from Norse. Tuesday is
named for the Norse/Germanic god of war, Ty (Ti). Wednesday is named
for the chief Norse/Germanic god, Odin (also written Wotan).
Thursday is named for Thor, god of lightning and combat. Friday is
named for Frey, the god of fertility (his sister Freya was goddess of
fertility).
