Odin
Origin of Wednesday

The modern English weekday name Wednesday derives from Old English Wōdnesdæg, meaning 'day of Wōden'. Cognate terms are found in other Germanic languages, such as Middle Low German and Middle Dutch Wōdensdach (modern Dutch woensdag), Old Frisian Wērnisdei (≈ Wērendei) and Old Norse Óðinsdagr (cf. Danish, Norwegian, Swedish onsdag). All of these terms derive from Late Proto-Germanic * Wodanesdag ('Day of Wōðanaz'), a calque of Latin Mercurii dies ('Day of Mercury '; cf. modern Italian mercoledì, French mercredi, Spanish miércoles).
