How about Saturday and Sunday?
Are they called "two days after tommorrow and two days before yesterday"?

No. If today is Wednesday, there are fixed ways to refer to Monday ("the day before yesterday") and Friday ("the day after tomorrow"), as well as Tuesday and Thursday ("yesterday" and "tomorrow" respectively). Beyond that, you have to use the name of the day, prefaced with "this" if there's a risk your interlocutor won't know you're talking about the current week.

Note the correct spelling of "tomorrow".

Ditto for American English, unless we're talking about a place that uses a different weekend. It's Friday and Saturday in Israel and some Muslim countries, and Thursday and Friday in some other Muslim countries.

 

[andrewg927]

The typical workdays in the US are Monday to Friday but I definitely consider Friday night part of the weekend. Many people agree with me and many don't but all I know is if someone asks me about my weekend plans I would certainly include my Friday night plans.

Thursday and Friday are the weekend in my country. The week starts with Saturday.
