The weekly system founded by Babylonians first spread to ancient Greece and Rome. The ancient Romans named 1 week and 7 days after the gods they believed in: Sun Day, Moon Day, Mars Day, Mercury Day and Jupiter Day.
After these seven names spread to Britain, the Anglo-Saxons changed four of them with their own names of gods, replacing Mars Day, Mercury Day, Jupiter Day and Venus Day with Wednesday, Thursday and Friday respectively. Tuesday came from Tiu, the Anglo-Saxon god of war. Wednesday comes from Walden, the highest god, also known as the Lord God. Thursday is from Raytheon. It's Raytheon. Friday comes from frigga and is the goddess of love. This forms the name of 1 7 days of the week in English today.
