Sun day, Moon Day, Tiw’s Day, Woden’s Day, Thor’s Day, Friga’s Day, Saturn’s Day

In French and other languages these line up pretty with with the planets instead of the old English gods.

Yup. Also spelled Wotan (t and d are kind of ambiguous in younger futhark), and probably known better to a modern audience as Odin.
