A lot of the Asian languages are based off the Chinese language. Sort of like Latin for the Asian area. Sunday = Day of the Sun. The rest are just numbers. Monday = First Day of the Week, etc.

The Chinese calendar is based off the changes in the moon but is named with the word Dragon. Example : Dragon Month 1. But since the Western Calendar came into effect in the modern world, they are just named by numbers. Example : January is Month 1, etc.
