How did the fifth day of the week Thursday get its name?

The term comes from theOld English term, Thunor's Day (Þunresdæg). This name was influenced from the Old Norse term, Þorsdagr, or Thor's Day, the Norse God.

Our culture, wanting to simplify the term, used The "Thu" and "r" of Thunor.

Similarly, Friday was named after his wife.
