Yes. Wednesday is derived from the Anglo-Saxons, who worshipped Odin. It is Oden’s Day. Don’t know how the pronunciation got so different. Probably because of those lazy Britons who were all over the island.

Odin = Wodin

The god of wisdom, war, art, culture, and the dead, and the supreme deity and creator of the cosmos and humans. [Old Norse Ōdhinn; see wet- in Indo-European roots.]

Ah, I see there are multiple founts of useless knowledge here. Always glad to add to my repertoire.
