Etymology

The concept of a seven-day period, known as a week, has been used for thousands of years across various cultures. The seven-day week can be traced back to ancient Babylonian times, where each day was dedicated to a different planetary deity. The seven-day week was later adopted by the Romans, who named the days after the Sun, Moon, and five planets known at that time. Over time, the seven-day week became standardized in different calendars and continues to be widely used today.
