Sunday originates from the Latin phrase diēs sōlis (“sun’s day”) that later got adapted to the Old English word ‘sunnandæg’.
With Christianity, Latin-derived Romance languages changed the dedication from “sun’s day” to “lord’s day” (domingo in Spanish, dimanche in French, and domenica in Italian). However, “Sun’s day” maintained popularity in the languages that would become modern English.

In Germanic pre-Christian religions, such as Norse Mythology, the sun was represented by a woman named Sol who rode a horse-and-chariot carrying the sun across the sky, before being hunted and bested by a wolf beast named Skoll. Her brother, Mani, carried the moon in a similar fashion, and you can probably guess which day of the week he’s the inspiration for. And in Greek Mythology, the god Apollo was believed to drive his chariot across the sky each day. |
