From Old English 'Frigedaeg' — Frigg's day, the Germanic love-goddess matched to Roman Venus.
The sixth day of the week in many cultures, following Thursday and preceding Saturday.
From Old English 'frīgedæg,' meaning 'day of Frīg,' the Anglo-Saxon goddess associated with love, marriage, and the household. Frīg (Old Norse Frigg) was identified with the Roman goddess Venus through interpretatio germanica, making Friday the Germanic translation of Latin 'Veneris diēs' (day of Venus). The equation linked two goddesses of love and fertility, though scholars debate whether Old Norse Freyja (a separate goddess) also contributed to the English name. Key
