heyy that makes sense! The Dutch word for Thursday is literally thunderday

so that means Friday is named after the God of freedom (because the dutch word vrijdag means freeday) :thinking:

 

Well, Friday is named after the Norse goddess Frigg...not sure if she has anything to do with freedom or not, though.

I always thought it was Freya :uhoh:[/color]

Hmm...I don't know, but here's something that I found on Wikipedia:

In an academic paper published in 1996, Stephen Grundy, a researcher at the University of Uppsala, argued that Freyja and Frigg may have originally been the same deity. Noting that in the literature of the Viking Age the two were certainly described as separate figures, he highlighted a number of similarities between them; in mythology, both owned falcon cloaks that they lent to the trickster god Loki, and both owned jewellery obtained through unchaste behaviour. Grundy argued that these similarities would be consistent with the two having originally represented only a single deity before later diverging into two at some point before the Viking Age.
