Sunday

Etymology: Middle English, from Old English sunnandæg (akin to Old High German sunnuntag), from sunne sun + dæg day
: the first day of the week : the Christian analogue of the Jewish Sabbath

This is an interesting question. In the business world, in my understanding, Monday is considered as first day of a week;however, in the software world, for example Microsoft SQL Server, Sunday is considered as first day of a week.
