    Mundane is from the Latin root mundanus, meaning "of or belonging to the world". This was to distinguish it from ecclesiastical affairs, which was considered anything but mundane.

    Monday is from the Old English word "monendaeg", meaning day of the moon. The original word is of Germanic origin; the modern German equivalent being Montag.

    I do agree that Mondays can be mundane.

    Depending upon how far your tongue is in your cheek, no. Monday comes from Old English for moon. Mundane comes from worldly.
