Thursday in Spanish is jueves. This is the same in both Spanish from Spain and Spanish from Latin America.
Jueves is a cognate, meaning the word looks and sounds the same in both English and Spanish. Cognates are great words to pick up when you are starting to learn another language. Because they look and sound similar, they are easy to remember.
The word originates from the Latin word Iovis dies, which was used to name the fifth day of the week in Imperial Rome, which corresponded to our modern "Thursday". Over time, the Latin word evolved into the form jueves.
As with other Spanish days of the week, the first letter of jueves is capitalized when it stands alone, but not when it comes before the day’s number. This is the same for English, for example: "Thursday is the fifth day of the week," but "on thursday the fifth, I will go to the park".
If you are looking for words related to Thursday in Spanish, then you may want to consider the phrase miércoles descansado, which translate quite literally to "restful Wednesday" but is often used in the same way that we would use "happy Thursday" in English.
