"Di Ios" is the day of Jupiter/Iovis and so on. Just Saturday is "the day of Sabbath" and Sunday is "the day of Lord".That is the case in all Romance languages except Portuguese.
(In Portuguese the names are sábado and domingo, but then {feminine singular ordinal numbers 2-6}-feira: segunda-feira, terça-feira, quarta-feira quinta-feira, sexta-feira. Thanks to a Bishop who in 563 AD declared that it was blasphemous to use the Pagan god names. The "-feira" (which is usually omitted) originally meant "holy day", probably in the sense of "day of Creation according to the Bible".)
