Etymology
Miercuri comes from the Latin phrase dies Mercurii, the day of Mercury, with dies eventually dropped and the genitive Mercurii surviving on its own. This mirrors the pattern of the other Romanian weekday names, each built on the genitive of a Roman god's name. The word passed into Romanian through spoken Latin in the region, alongside the other day names.
