Where Did Monday Get Its Name?
This morning I wondered "Where did the name Monday come from?" For so many people, it is a day that is dreaded. Having found out how the name came about, have you ever felt mooned by Monday? Well, here's why...
"Despite being the dreaded start of the work and school week, Monday is actually the second day of the week. Monday gets its name from the Anglo-Saxon word "mondandaeg" which translates to "the moon's day." The second day of the week in Nordic cultures was devoted to worshipping the goddess of the moon. Girls born on Mondays were given the name Mona in Ancient Britain, as it was the Old English word for moon."
