This is also an African American name (as with all the other weekdays). Naming children after the day they were born is common in some African cultures, notably Akan. Early slaves in America continued the day-naming practice with the English equivalents. For this fascinating history, see http://slaverebellion.org/index.php?page=africanisms-in-names.
