Etymology
Noun
Old English sunnandæg "Sunday," from sunne "sun" + dæg "day"
Word Origin
It was believed in ancient times that there were seven "planets," including the sun and the moon. The days of the week were named in Latin for these "planets." One of the days was named dies solis, meaning "day of the sun." The Latin name was later translated into other languages. Dies solis became sunnandæg in Old English. The modern English Sunday comes from the Old English sunnandæg.
