Etymology

Blend of *ჯუმა (*ǯuma) +‎ -შ (-š, genitive case marker) +‎ დღა (dɣa, “day”), the meaning of *ჯუმა (*ǯuma) is unknown, sometimes theorized to represent a pre-Christian God of fertility, prosperity, protector of shepherds and livestock.[1] Related to ნერჩი (nerči, “God of earth, ground”), for which compare ო-ჯუმაშხ-ურ-ი (o-ǯumašx-ur-i, “worshipping of Nerchi”).

Cognate with Laz ჯუმაჩხა (cumaçxa, “Wednesday”), which according to Marr some speakers used to denote Monday instead.[2] Similarity with Arabic اَلْجُمْعَة (al-jumʕa, “Friday”), whence Turkish cuma (“id.”), is probably accidental, but compare Adyghe бэрэскэжъый (bɛrɛskɛẑəj, “Wednesday”, literally “small Friday”) against бэрэскэшху (bɛrɛskɛšxʷu, “Friday”, literally “big Friday”) both deriving from Ancient Greek Παρασκευή (Paraskeuḗ, “Friday”).
