Let’s imagine it’s currently Wednesday the 1st. Does “next Saturday” mean Saturday the 4th (the next Saturday to occur) or Saturday the 11th (the Saturday of next week)?

    You are describing “This Saturday”. Next Saturday is the one after that It’s just like “this week” indicates something within the next 7 days and “next week” occurs 1 day after the end of “this week”. So if its Wednesday, “this week” goes through Tuesday and the following Wednesday starts “Next Week”.
