Meaning & History

From the English word for the day of the week, ultimately deriving from Latin meaning "Saturn's day."

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.
