Etymology
Compound of सोम (soma, "moon") + वार (vāra, "day"). Ultimately a semantic loan from Ancient Greek ἡμέρα Σελήνης (hēméra Selḗnēs), compare also Latin diēs Lūnae and Old English mōnandæġ (whence English Monday). The association of the seven week days with the seven classical planets is first attested in the Gupta period.
