yvanspijk, 
'Tuesday' comes from Old English 'Tīwesdæġ', literally 'Tīw's day'.
'Tīw' was the name of the Germanic god that's also known by his Old Norse name 'Týr'. Both names stem from Proto-Germanic *Tīwaz.
Listen to how the day name evolved from Proto-West Germanic via the dialects of the London region to modern British English:
