Domingo comes from Dominicus, or "belonging to the Lord" as in French, or the Italian "Domenica". All share the same etymology

"Sábado" is Spanish for Shabat as is Sabato in Italian

(I'm sure other romance languages are similar, even Portuguese, that has Sábado and Domingo, but the rest of the days are numbered from 2nd to 6th, oddly enough)

All of them coming directly from Latin
