Seems they wanted to go away more from the old Heathen day names than Swedish or English, using Sunday as the first day to count. Now, of course, the Icelandic section of Wikipedia defines Monday as the second day of the week: http://is.wikipedia.org/wiki/M%C3%A1nudagur >/Sigfred Kind regards, Hannah. |
