More about the book
Exploring the historical significance of the names of the days, this seminar paper delves into their meanings and origins, often overlooked in daily life. It highlights the shift in the designation of the first day of the week from Sunday to Monday due to DIN-Standardization 1355 and the UNO's ISO 8601 decision in 1973. Despite this global standardization, many regions, including England and Northern America, continue to recognize Sunday as the week's starting day, reflecting the persistence of cultural practices in the seven-day system.
