The name Wednesday continues Middle English Wednesdei. Old English still had wōdnesdæg, which would be continued as *Wodnesday The mid-day of the week is named for the Norse God, Odin. He was also known asWoden or Wotan. Unlike many of the other days of the week, this day did not correspond roughly with the Roman designation for the day. The Roman's namedWednesday for the messenger God - Mercury - In Romanian, the day is still known.
