What Day Was I Born?

Tuesday

“Tuesday's child is full of grace.”

Tuesday belongs to the war gods. English kept Tiw (Norse Týr), while Spanish martes and French mardi kept Mars — and in Korean and Japanese the day is 火, fire, the element given to Mars. The rhyme makes Tuesday's child “full of grace”, and Thailand makes the day pink.

Frequently asked questions

What does “Tuesday's child is full of grace” mean?

Grace here means a gentle, easy elegance — in how you move and how you treat people. It is the second line of the Monday's Child rhyme.

Why is Tuesday named after Tiw?

When Germanic peoples took up the Roman seven-day week, they swapped Roman gods for their own. Mars, the war god, became Tiw (Týr), so dies Martis became Tiwesdæg — Tuesday.

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

Kwabena (Fante: Kobina) for a boy and Abena for a girl.
