Friday is named for the goddess Frigg (some say Freya), standing in for Venus — Spanish viernes, and 金, metal, in Korean and Japanese. Friday's children are “loving and giving” in the rhyme, and in Ghana a Friday-born boy is Kofi, as in Kofi Annan, born on Friday, 8 April 1938.

The rhyme, colors, names and signs are traditions, not predictions. The day itself is plain arithmetic.
