In Roman times, the days of the week were named after the sun, the moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn.
Later, the Germanic peoples adjusted the names of the days so that they reflected their own mythology rather than that of the Romans. As English is part of the West Germanic family of languages, the English words for the days (mostly) derive from these Germanic names.
