Have you ever wondered what the word Tuesday actually means? I know PPP is a just a blog, and all we post is empty calories, but that doesn’t mean I can’t help us all be educated in between cheese doodles.
The English name is derived from Old English Tiwesdæg and Middle English Tewesday, meaning “Tu012bw’s Day”, the day of Tiw or Týr, the god of single combat, and law and justice in Norse mythology. Tiw was equated with Mars in the interpretatio germanica, and the name of the day is a translation of Latin dies Martis.
