[edit] Etymology

Middle English Tewesday, from Old English Tīwesdæg (a rendering of Latin dies Martis, itself a translation of Ancient Greek Areos hemera), from Tīw, god of war and the sky, from Proto-Germanic *Tiwaz (cf. Old Norse Tyr, Old High German Ziu), from Proto-Indo-European *dyeu- 'to shine' + Old English dæg day; akin to Old Norse tysdagr, Swedish tisdag, Old High German zīostag; the variants Dutch Dinstag, German Dienstag, both from Thinxus, a nasalized version of Tīw; more at Zeus and day.
