hard truth
Saturday was originally something like "Laugurdagr" in Norse which would be "Bathing day", I imagine Old English would have had its equivalent, something like "Lager Daeg"
Lauantai in finnish (d and g are foreign to the finnish language)
It would be "**leagedæg", though there's no reason to assume Old English had this equivalent. Just by looking at "laugardagr" in Old Norse, you can tell it's a really new coining and not something from Proto-Germanic because this kind of compound with the genitive is a later innovation. If it were from Proto-Germanic, we'd expect to see "**laugdagr" in Old Norse, so based on the linguistic evidence the word didn't exist in Old Norse until long after the weekday was already called "sæterdæg" in Old English. Not to mention the fact that the seven day week didn't exist in the Germanic languages until it was borrowed and calqued during the Christianization process which happened much later for the Norse than for the West and East Germanics.
Those are Danish names

Frigg and Freyja are generally believed to have been one goddess that was split into two distinct figures at some point.
In the Prose Edda, Snorri Sturluson lists Freyja's husband as being someone named "Othr" which uses the same root as Othinn/ Odin's name.
Sure, we can assume they shared a common origin in the past. But in OP's case he should've written "Frig's day(Frigg)" for consistency/accuracy
to that point, I'm pretty sure that we don't know whether Friday is meant to refer to Frigg or Freyja. It could feasibly refer to either. Most translations I see capture the ambiguity by translating it as "Frigg/ Freyja's Day." OP I guess tried to do something in that ballpark but kinda fucked it up.
We do know that it's Frigg's Day actually because of linguistics. It gets confusing because for modern Scandis the word became Fredag, which too many people thought looked more like Freyja (ignoring that Freyja's Day would've been Frødag/Frödag) and it's spread in popculture. There's a similar problem in modern German, too many people think Freitag means either "free day" or Freyja's Day even though that one would be Frauentag. The fact that people think Freyja is cooler than Frigg also has a lot to do with it lol

"Saxon Heathens did not have
a seven-day week until christianization. Instead, Germanic Heathens had days
of the moon, the moon waxing (growing) and waning (shrinking.)"
"There is a general Pagan Celtic, Germanic, Slavic, Saxon etc obsession with three, nine and the lunar month. The sideral linuar month is approximately 27 days long so 3^3"
Why did Anglo-Saxons name their days after pagan gods even though they were already Christians at this point?
>Why did Anglo-Saxons name their days after pagan gods even though they were already Christians at this point?
People don't suddenly abandon thousand year old traditions in one generation. Christians have a long history of turning pagan traditions into Christian ones.
