About Saturday
Saturday is derived from the English word for the day of the week, which ultimately comes from Latin, meaning "Saturn's day." In ancient Roman religion, Saturn was a god associated with generation, agriculture, and wealth. The Romans named Saturday after Saturn, believing that the planet Saturn controlled the first hour of that day.
The name Saturday also has African American roots. In some African cultures, it is common to name children after the day they were born. Early slaves in America continued this practice, using the English equivalents of the day names.
