○○○ Sunday ⪢⪢
In ancient Latin Sunday was Dies Solis for the Sun God but in the Christian era it was renamed Domonicas for lord's day. Most of the Romance languages use a desendant of that but in English and Germanic languages it is still named for the sun. #Greece

○○○ Anglo-Saxon ⪢⪢
For example, we took the names for animals but while in the fields and farms where the Anglo-Saxon peasants worked, they kept the Germanic names, on the tables where the Roman nobles dined, they got the Romance names.
