One theory(courtesy of
Edith Hamiliton's "Mythology") is that Tuesday is the corrupted form of
Tyr's Day.
Tyr was the Norse god of war.
You might also want to know that Friday is generally thought of as
Freya's Day, from the goddess
Freya, Norse deity of love and beauty. Less well accepted is the interpretation of Friday as Frigga's Day. According to Norse myths, she is
Odin's (Wodin's) wife.
