Wednesday


Wednesday in other languages:


French: mercredi
Spanish: miercoles
Italian: mercoledi
German: Mittwoch (literally, midweek)
Latin: dies Mercurii


Romance languages are obviously named after Mercury.


English comes from Odin or Woden (Germanic god similar to Mercury).


German Mittwoch used to be Wodenstag.
