From Wikipedia:
The contemporary name Thursday comes from the Old English Þunresdæg, meaning "Day of Thunor", this being a rough Germanic equivalent to the Latin Iovis Dies, "Jupiter's Day". Other Germanic and Latin speaking countries use their languages' equivalents: German Donnerstag, torsdag in Scandinavia, Italian giovedì, Spanish jueves, French jeudi.

Thursday probably got its name from someone named Thur (Thor, Thar, Thun, etc.) but Wikipedia says its Thor, the god of Thunder.
Its probably dedicated to Thor, there for Thursday or possibly once Thor's Day.
