Thursday: the fifth day of the week. Derived mainly from Old Norse “Tórsdagr” ‘day of Thunor or Thor.’ Middle Germanic Donderday (modern German Donnerstag) derives from late Latin ”dies Jovis” (compare French Jeudi).
Wednesday: the fourth day of the week. “The day of (the god) Woden,” a translation of late Latin “Mercurii dies” whence the name of the day in the Romance languages.

Sunday: the first day of the week. Derived from late Latin “dies solis” - day of the sun.
