Odinsday
Come to think of it, I just used the first version that came to mind.
After some more research from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Odin
Wotan - High German
Odin - Norse
Wōden - Old English.
Wōden would be the correct origin for Wednesday, which is the source of the W and D.
Not sure how the "ō" got changed to an "e" though.
