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.
