The Hebrews (i.e., the Jews referred to in the Bible) did have names for the other days of the week, but I don't know what they were off-hand.
But you're right. In the creation account in Genesis 1, there are no names assigned to the individual days, just numbers. The Old Testament eventually uses the word Sabbath for the seventh day, but not until the giving of the Law when God gave Moses all the rules and regulations for the Hebrew people.
The New Testament uses: "the first day of the week" (meaning the day after the Sabbath) but as stated elsewhere in the thread, the actual name of this day is a historical and extra-Biblical topic.
