Tuesday Facts:

  • Tuesday was named after the Old English god Tiw. The name Tuesday derives from the Old English “Tiwesdæg” and literally means “Tiw’s Day”. 
  • Tiw is the Old English form of the Proto-Germanic god *Tîwaz, or Týr in Norse, a god of war and law. 
  • In the Indic languages of Pali and Sanskrit, as well as in Thailand, the name of the day is taken from Angaraka (‘one who is red in colour’) a style (manner of address) for Mangala, the god of war, and for Mars, the red planet.
  • In the Eastern Orthodox Church, Tuesdays are dedicated to Saint John the Baptist.
