Derived from old English, which is a Germanic language, the German God
Woden had a day named after him - hence Woden's Day, which transformed
through poor usage over the years to Wednesday!!
When you figure "LZ 1" out, you may note that if you leave the "D" out
they become a very French 'Le Zeppelin', which makes about as much
sense as Wenesday!!

Most of the days are named for Norse gods.
Tuesday = Tysdagr = Tyr's Day
Thursday = Thor's Day
Friday = Freys Dagr = Frey's Day
Some don't come from the Norse religion:
Monday = Moonday
Sunday
Saturday = Saturn's Day (Roman god, not the planet)
Ironically, in Iceland, where the Asatru (Norse religion) persisted
longest, we use Christian/Neutral names for the days.

The seven days were in fact originally named for the then seven
heavenly bodies when Sunday became the Sun's day, with the Moon, Mars,
Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, and Saturn making the other six.
They originated in ancient Mesopotamia, were adapted by the Greeks and
Egyptians and then adapted again by the Romans to fit their monthly
calendar, by which time four of the 'planets' had been used as names
for Roman Gods..
The names remained largely the same with allowances for language and
cultural differences, and were adopted by European culture with the
Roman Gods being replaced by Germanic Gods which were further
adulterated by other cultures such as the Norse.
