{{See also|Names of the days of the week}}
The name ''Tuesday'' derives from the Old English {{lang|ang|Tiwesdæg}} and literally means "Tiw's Day".<ref>{{cite dictionary |url=http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=Tuesday |title=Tuesday |dictionary=Online Etymology Dictionary  |access-date=31 August 2010}}</ref> Tiw is the Old English form of the Proto-Germanic god ''*Tîwaz'', or [[Týr]] in [[Old Norse]]. ''*Tîwaz'' derives from the [[Proto-Indo-European language|Proto-Indo-European]] base ''*dei-'', ''*deyā-'', ''*dīdyā-'', meaning 'to shine', whence comes also such words as "[[deity]]".<ref>Klein, E., "deity" and "Tuesday", ''Comprehensive Etymological Dictionary of the English Language'' (Elsevier Publishing, 1966), pp. 417—18, 1662.</ref>

The German ''Dienstag'' and Dutch ''dinsdag'' are derived from the Germanic custom of the ''[[thing (assembly)|thing]]'', as Tiw / Týr also had a strong connection to the thing.

The [[Latin]] name {{lang|la|dies Martis}} ("day of Mars") is equivalent to the [[Greek language|Greek]] {{lang|grc|ἡμέρα Ἄρεως}} ({{lang|grc-Latn|hēméra Áreōs}}, "day of [[Ares]]"). In most languages with [[Latin]] origins ([[Italian language|Italian]], [[French language|French]], [[Spanish language|Spanish]], [[Catalan language|Catalan]], [[Romanian language|Romanian]], [[Galician language|Galician]], [[Sardinian language|Sardinian]], [[Corsican language|Corsican]], but not [[Portuguese language|Portuguese]]), the day is named after [[Mars (mythology)|Mars]], the Roman parallel of the [[Ancient Greek]] [[Ares]] ({{lang|grc|Ἄρης}}).

In some [[Slavic languages]] the word Tuesday originated from [[Old Church Slavonic]] word {{lang|cu|въторъ}} meaning "the second". Bulgarian and Russian {{lang|ru|Вторник}} ({{lang|ru-Latn|Vtornik}}) ({{Langx|sr|уторак}} {{lang|sr-Latn|utorak}}) is derived from the Bulgarian and Russian adjective for 'second' – {{lang|ru|Втори}} ({{lang|ru-Latn|Vtori}}) or {{Lang|ru|Второй}} ({{lang|ru-Latn|Vtoroi}}).

In [[Japanese language|Japanese]], the second day of the week is {{lang|ja|火曜日}} ({{lang|ja-Latn|kayōbi}}), from {{lang|ja|火星}} ({{lang|ja-Latn|kasei}}), the planet [[Mars]]. Similarly, in [[Korean language|Korean]] the word Tuesday is {{lang|ko|화요일}} ({{lang|ko-Latn|hwa yo il}}), means literally fire day, and Mars the planet is referred to as the fire star with the same words, but this is unrelated to the Roman god Mars, which is referred to phonetically as Mars.

In the [[Indo-Aryan languages]] [[Pali]] and [[Sanskrit]] the name of the day is taken from {{lang|pi-Latn|Angaraka}} ('one who is red in colour'),<ref>{{cite web
