Amici, Americani, Compatriotae,
I have always been fascinated with the origin of the names of the days of the week and months of the year in Lingua Anglica. The picture below provides tables showing the correlation between modern English names and ancient ones in West Germanic (for week days) and Latin (for months). The reason for this post is a comment on The Kalends of March at The American Catholic blog.
