In many traditions, for a very long time, a handy shortcut to giving a child a Meaningful Name has been to name that child after one of the days of the week. This is useful because each weekday has an array of meanings. Many European languages derive their names from the Roman practice of naming them after the Roman gods, either by adopting the Roman names or by replacing them with similar local gods (e.g. Germanic gods). From the original Latin, we have Monday as "Dies Lunae", Moon's day, Tuesday is "Dies Martis", Mars' day, Wednesday is "Dies Mercurii", Mercury's day, Thursday is "Dies Iovis", Jupiter's day, Friday is "Dies Veneris", Venus' day, Saturday is "Dies Saturni", Saturn's day, and Sunday, "Dies Solis", which is... Sun day. This is easier to remember in Latinate languages. The days of the week in French, for example, are lundi, mardi, mercredi, jeudi, vendredi, samedi and dimanche. In Spanish, those days are lunes, martes, miércoles, jueves, viernes, sábado and domingo. An exception but still easy is Portuguese, where considering domingo is the first day, the five following it before sabado are [ordinal number]-feira starting with second (Segunda, Terçanote Though that's "third" as in fraction, in ordinal it would be "terceira", Quarta, Quinta, Sexta). From the Germanic languages, we have Sunday as The Sun's day (Sunna), Monday as Moon day (Máni), Tuesday as Týr's day, Wednesday as Wotan's/Óðin's day, Thursday as Þór's day, and Friday as Freyja's day; in English, Saturday is unique in having a Latin-derived name, elsewhere it is bathing or pool day (Laugardagr). Hooray! This pagan-based naming has ticked off the Catholic Church, so some countries with lots of Catholic influence will have boring names, based on what prayers should be done. Or even more mind-numbingly uninventive: long ago in Iceland, a Catholic bishop renamed Tuesday to "third day", Wednesday to "middle week day", Thursday to "fifth day" and Friday to "fasting day." The Quakers also used numbers for days of the week instead of honoring Pagan deities (Sunday was the first day, etc), and in Hebrew they've always been numbers ("Sabbath" comes from the Hebrew word for seven). Naming a character in this way is a good way to connect them to some of these previously described figures. Also, naming a character after a weekday may imply he is similar to the day's feel (See Seinfeld). Someone named Monday can't be fun, because Garfield hates Mondays, right? On the other hand, Saturday must be super fun to hang out with, and, ladies, he's single. Another way is getting away with naming a character after a month. This is not as meaningful because some people actually do name their kids after months (April, May, June), and, not only that, we still use two month names originated by Roman emperors with considerably large egos (July and August, for Julius and Augustus). See also Temporal Theme Naming, "Days of the Week" Song. |

The Thursday Next books, of course. The eponymous heroine aside, her mother is Wednesday Next, her son is Friday Next, and her daughter is Tuesday Next. The one who doesn't fit is her daughter Jenny. This foreshadows the fact that Jenny doesn't exist—she's a mindworm (an imaginary, persistent idea) implanted in Thursday that later spreads to the rest of the family, making her a Double Subversion. | |

The titular family of The Secret Saturdays. Don't forget their evil twins, The Mondays. Who didn't really have a specific name; Zack decided to call them "the Mondays" because Monday (the first day of the work-week, or seeing as how he's just a kid, more likely the school week) is essentially the "opposite" of Saturday (the start of the weekend.) |

The Man Who Was Thursday by G. K. Chesterton, though there the days of the week are just the code names for the seven leaders of a secret anarchist society and not their actual names. Rather than gods or nursery rhymes, the names are symbolic of the (slightly adjusted) Creation Week, with the most mysterious bordering on God-like of the bunch naturally being Sunday. | |

Mr. Wednesday from American Gods. The name is actually foreshadowing that he is actually Odin (Odin>Woden>Weden's-day). In other words, it's an Inverted Trope: The day is named after him. He even acknowledges it when he first gives his name as Wednesday, claiming that "Today is my day." though he notes that because of the stormy weather, "it might as well be Thursday" (Thor>Thur's-day) This almost spoils his identity for anyone who already knows the origin of the days' names. | |

The Italian adaptation of Yattodetaman, called Calendar Men, had a field day with this. Since the series' main theme is time travel, they decided to give everyone names related to days of the week, months and so on. For example, Mirenjo became Lunedì (Monday) and her little brother Komaro became Sabato (Saturday); her two lackeys were renamed Settembre and Ottobre, full names Primo Settembre and Due Ottobre ("September the First" and "October the Second"), the hero's wimpy alter ego Wataru Toki became Beppe Domani (something like "Joe Tomorrow")... | |
