Each hour was associated with one of the seven objects moving in the sky: Sun, Moon, and the five visible planets. This rotated through the 24 hour day, so each day would start with a different object. The days were then named for those objects:
Sun--Sunday
Moon--Monday
Mercury (Germanic Tiuw)--Tuesday
Jupiter (Germanic Wotan)--Wednesday
Mars (Thor)--Thursday
Venus (Germanic Frigga or Freya)--Friday
Saturn--Saturday
