Monday comes from the moon goddess, same as in Spanish. It would be day of the moon.
Saturn comes from Saturn, or Kronos, the god of time
Sunday means day of the sun, in Anglo Saxon myths. In other languages, like French, or Spanish, means day of the lord, from Latin Dominus

Monday = Moon's Day
Sunday = Sun's Day
Saturday = Saturn's Day [the planet Saturn]
Most of the days of the weeks were named after Norse gods & goddesses: [Tuesday (Tiw's day), Wednesday(spelling has changed: Woden's day), Thursday(Thor's day) & Friday (Freya's Day)] not Anglo-Saxon gods.
