The Indonesian word for Sunday (Minggu) comes from Portuguese. The Indonesian name for Monday (Senin) is local, the names for Tuesday to Saturday come from Arabic (Selasa, Rabu, Kamis, Jumat, Sabtu).

Minggu is also the word for week.

Maundy Thursday, BTW, is Kamis Putih (white Thursday).

Edited for clarity
