What Day Was I Born?

“Monday's child is fair of face.”

Monday is the Moon's day: Old English Mōnandæg, Spanish lunes, and 月 (moon) in Korean and Japanese. In the old English rhyme Monday's child is “fair of face”, and in Thailand Monday's color is yellow — the color people wear for King Bhumibol and King Vajiralongkorn, both born on a Monday.

Frequently asked questions

What does “Monday's child is fair of face” mean?

It is the first line of the Monday's Child nursery rhyme, first printed in England in the 1830s. “Fair of face” simply means good-looking — the rhyme gives each weekday one quality, and Monday got looks.

Why is Monday yellow in Thailand?

Thai tradition gives each weekday a color, and Monday's is yellow. King Bhumibol (born Monday, 5 December 1927) and King Vajiralongkorn were both born on a Monday, so yellow became the color people wear for the king.

What is the Akan name for a Monday-born child?

Kwadwo (often written Kojo) for a boy and Adwoa for a girl. Among the Akan of Ghana most people carry their day name alongside their other names.
