Title: Who Came Up With the "Name" For Each Day?
Post by: mrisha on March 07, 2022, 12:40:21 pm: Where did the name of the days spring up from? They are really ridiculous. People are naming them each day and it's Ummmmmmmm" fill in the previous. What would be the word to use?

Names of the Days of the Week
In many languages, the names given to the seven days of the week are derived from the names of the classical planets in Hellenistic astronomy, which were in turn named after contemporary deities, a system introduced by the Roman Empire during Late Antiquity. In some other languages, the days are named after corresponding deities of the regional culture, beginning either with Sunday or with Monday. The seven-day week was adopted in early Christianity from the Hebrew calendar, and gradually replaced the Roman nundinal cycle as the new religion spread. Sunday remained the first day of the week, being considered the Lord's Day, while the Jewish sabbath remained the seventh. Emperor Constantine adopted the seven-day week for official use in CE 321, making the Day of the Sun (dies Solis) a legal holiday. In the international standard ISO 8601, Monday is treated as the first day of the week.

This is what is meant.

More recent one was "Happy it is Carrot cake day"
