The angel of Saturday is Tzaphkiel or Cassiel. Associated with wisdom, temperance and restraint, his name is of uncertain meaning (and my Hebrew-English dictionaries are all packed, alas).

in parts of africa, babies are not addressed by their true&given name, but by the name of the day of week they were born on. one example is the masculine name kwame which means "born on saturday"

this practice allegedly provides protection from the numerous spirits, monsters, beings and witches that want access to all newborns really bad. it is commonly held that addressing the child by their true&given name provides stamped entry documents to these malign forces, should those forces happen to "hear" the magickal true name uttered aloud..

Good info.

I gave myself the additional name of Kwasi, which is "born on Sunday."
