The plural of Sunday, the first day of the week in most modern calendars, traditionally a day of rest and religious observance in Christian cultures.
From Old English 'Sunnandæg,' meaning 'day of the sun,' combining 'sunne' (sun) and 'dæg' (day). The name originally honored the sun in pagan Germanic tradition, later Christianized as a holy day of worship.
Most languages named Sunday after the sun, but Romance languages like Spanish (domingo) and French (dimanche) actually kept the Latin name for the Lord's Day—showing how language reflects different cultural histories meeting and blending.
