You can decide for yourself on which day the week starts in Google Calendar. Whether you think Sunday, Monday or Saturday is the first day of every week.
The first day of the week
Especially in religious circles, the view prevails that Sunday is the first day of the week and Saturday (Sabbath) the seventh and last day. It also says so in some diaries and calendars. While most people think that Monday is the first day of the week. Anyone who also likes to see this reflected in their Google Calendar can simply adjust it.
