Why is Wednesday through Friday named for Norse Gods?

Wednesday through Friday are named after Norse gods due to the influence of Germanic mythology on the days of the week. Wednesday is derived from Woden’s day, named after the god Odin, while Thursday is named for Thor, the god of thunder. Friday is named after Frigg (or Frigga), the goddess associated with love and fertility. This naming convention reflects the blending of pre-Christian traditions with the Latin names of the days of the week.
