    Σαββατοκύριακο. Saturday and Sunday. It would be far weirder to start the week on Δευτέρα which literally meaning “second”.

    Of course in English and other languages Monday does not mean second. Still for Mose western (plus Arabs) Monday has been second after Sunday. Long before Saturday was a day off.

    ISO defining the start of the week as Monday due to it being the first business day (lol) has comparatively little impact.
