Odin can be compared to the Roman god Mercury, so in the Nordic tradition Odin (also known as 'Woden') gave his name to Wednesday. Odin is the most prominent god in traditional Norse mythology. He is particularly associated with war luck, royal power, rune power and wisdom.
Why is Wednesday called Wednesday in the Addams family?
Wednesday Addams, the daughter of the family, was likely named after a nursery rhyme containing the line “Wednesday's child is full of woe.” The poem, which assigns personalities to children based on the day they were born, dates back to at least 1838.
The name is a calque of the Latin dies Mercurii 'day of Mercury', reflecting the fact that the Germanic god Woden (Wodanaz or Odin) during the Roman era was interpreted as "Germanic Mercury".
However, because Wednesday is a female and Latina autistic-coded character, the intersectional facets of her identity signal the beginning of more diverse representations for Autistic people.
Jenna Ortega has not publicly discussed her sexuality, but fans began to speculate about Ortega's sexuality after her performance in The Fallout, in which her character has a romantic relationship with a female friend.

The English name Friday comes from the Old English frīġedæġ, meaning the "day of Frig", a result of an old convention associating the Nordic goddess Frigg with the Roman goddess Venus after whom the planet was named; the same holds for Frīatag in Old High German, Freitag in Modern German, and vrijdag in Dutch.
Odin can be compared to the Roman god Mercury, so in the Nordic tradition Odin (also known as 'Woden') gave his name to Wednesday. Odin is the most prominent god in traditional Norse mythology.
The days of the week were named in Latin for these "planets." One of the days was named dies solis, meaning "day of the sun." The Latin name was later translated into other languages. Dies solis became sunnandæg in Old English. The modern English Sunday comes from the Old English sunnandæg.
Most recently, Netflix's Wednesday series paired gorgeous cinematography with a distinctly modern tale of fighting discrimination and critiquing colonialism. Despite the Addams' supernatural abilities, the fictional family is based on a very real couple from New Jersey.
Wednesday's roommate, Enid Sinclair, is likely the same age as her, 16, while Emma Myers is 20 years old. Enid is a young werewolf on the series. Myers started acting at 16 and will next appear in Netflix's upcoming film "Family Leave," starring Jennifer Garner.
The letter “v” was reserved for consonant sounds, while “u” was used for vowel sounds. This change in spelling rules meant that words that previously ended in “v” now needed an extra letter to make sense. The addition of the letter “e” after “v” in English words serves a few different purposes.
Unfortunately, 12 times (any odd number) is always an even number. To make the number of days on the calendar add up to 365 in a year, there would have to be one month with an even number. February was chosen to have 28 days as this was when the Romans honoured their dead.
Individuals with February birthdays are known for their creativity, compassion, and originality. As winter gradually gives way to spring, February-born individuals bring warmth and innovation to the world. People born in February are influenced by two zodiac signs: Aquarius and Pisces.
