Funny! I'll use that "merdi" instead of "mardi" next week.
Pretty sure it's named after the god of war, though. Both in English and French.

I think you're right with it being after Mars..... but Mars as in the Roman god of war. Since french is from latin and english is from german, it makes sense that they have two different words named after the same thing.
Tuesday -- Tiu's day
Middle English tiwesday or tewesday
Old English tiwesdæg "Tiw's (Tiu's) day"
