Day and month names have varied throughout history and between cultures and languages. The Bible doesn't name the days but only numbers them, except for the weekly sabbath (Fri. Sundown to Sat. Sundown). But the seven-day week was established at the end of creation week. Gen. 1 also states that the purpose of the luminaries was not only to provide light but also mark off hours, days, months, and seasons. So in that regard there was a clock and calendar.
