About Tuesday
When actress Susan Ker Weld changed her name to Tuesday, she opened up a whole calendar of possibilities. This was decades before the arrival of Sunday Rose Urban and years before Wednesday Addams made midweek a possibility.
Meaning "Tiw's day", "Tui's day", or "Tyr's day", the name honors both an Indo-European sky god (equivalent to Zeus perhaps) or the Norse God of combat, justice, and law. More figuratively, it could mean "shining day" or "sky day" from the meaning of Tiu and Tyr
Tuesday has a very quiet heyday back in the 60s when Tuesday Weld was on screen and "Ruby Tuesday" and "Tuesday afternoon" had entered the charts. In a recent count however, just 8 girls were give the name.
Pronounced TOOZ-day.
As of October 2026, Tuesday ranked #6808 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #1261 in 1966.
Editor's take: The name Tuesday is a girl's name of English origin meaning "Tiu's Day; Tiw's day".
