## Origin

From Middle English Tewesday, from Old English tīwesdæġ, from Proto-West Germanic *Tīwas dag, literally "Tiw's Day." This was a Germanic version of Latin diēs Mārtis ("day of Mars"), which itself translated the Ancient Greek name for the day. It is related to Danish tirsdag, Swedish tisdag, and West Frisian tiisdei.
