LAT Where do these weekday names come from?

The days of the week in all of the listed Romance languages spoken in the Iberian Peninsula, except Portuguese Monday–Friday, ultimately derive from the following Latin expressions:

  • diēs Lūnae
  • diēs Mārtis
  • diēs Mercuriī
  • diēs Iovis
  • diēs Veneris
  • diēs Sabbatī
  • diēs Dominicus

Portuguese, in turn, also derives its weekday terms from Latin, but from different expressions based on numbered feasts:

  • secunda feria
  • tertia feria
  • quarta feria
  • quinta feria
  • sexta feria
