Compound of 月曜 (getsuyō, “moon”, in reference also to the day for that celestial body, as originally imported from Chinese astrology in the Heian period) + 日 (hi, “day”).[1][2][3]
The compound form suffixed with 日 (hi, “day”) appears in common use from the Meiji period with the promulgation of the Gregorian calendar. See also Names of the days of the week on Wikipedia.Wikipedia
