Etymology

/doeubi/ > /dojoːbi/

Compound of 土曜 (doyō, “Saturn (the planet)”, in reference also to the day for that planet, as originally imported from Chinese astrology in the Heian period) +‎ 日 (hi, “day”).[1][2][3] The hi changes to bi as an instance of rendaku (連濁).

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
