Who named the days of the week?
There isn't one person who named the days of the week as we know them today, but some of the first records of the names can be traced back to ancient Roman times.
At the time, in addition to the Romans, there were tribes all over Europe in what we now consider Germany, Norway, and England. All of these tribes had their own words for the days of the week, which they often named to honor different gods, and when these tribes met they would combine languages. When these new languages finally reached Rome, the names for the days of the week were among some of the words the Romans adopted!
