Right. WeekEND. It's the end of the week. Not one day at the start and one at the end. It's why, currently, the week starts on Monday.

In Hebrew Sunday doesn't have a name, it's simply called "Day one", this is also true in Portuguese, Arabic, Greek, Chinese, Vietnamese, and others.
So no, the week does not start on Monday, it starts on Sunday.
The name "Weekend" came long long long after Sunday was considered the first day of the week.
