Haitian Creole, Seychellois Creole, and Mauritian Creole take their days from French (lundi, mardi, mercredi, jeudi, vendredi, samedi, dimanche), as these three Creole languages have French as their main lexical source.

Cape Verdean Creole, as a Portuguese-based Creole, takes its days from Portuguese (segunda-feira, terça-feira, quarta-feira, quinta-feira, sexta-feira, sábado, domingo).

Papiamentu, a Portuguese/Spanish-based Creole, takes six days from Spanish (día + lunes, martes, jueves, sábado, domingo) and one from Dutch (rantsoen).
