I think monday is really cool in hungarian. Its "hétfő" where "hét" means "seven" but as the week has seven days it also means "week" and "fő" means "head" or "main". Quite a lot of etymology in a small and common word and the nice part is people today still understand the meaning of it.
So head-of-the-week and also main-of-seven?
.... I like it. It's a bit less dryly practical than just calling it "Second Day" (because we start the count at sunday because christianity), but -- It makes sense and is even kinda cool.
