Dominic Forename Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
A male name. (French Dominique, Italian Domenico, Spanish Domingo): Latin dominicus, 'of the Lord’. The name may have been given originally to children born on a Sunday (dies dominica). In England it is found as a monk’s name in AS times, but did not come into use as an ordinary christian name until the 13th C, in honour of St Dominic (1170-1221), the founder of the Dominican Order. It was used at first as both a m. and a f. name, sometimes appearing as Dominick, sometimes as Dominy; Domenyk occurs in the 15th C. The name was never common in England, and since the Reformation has been used almost exclusively by Roman Catholics. In Ireland, however, it is not uncommon, being used as a substitute for the native Domhnall.
— The Oxford Dictionary of Christian Names (1947) by E. G. Withycombe
From Latin dominicus, as in dies dominica, ‘the Lord’s day,’ it means ‘child born on Sunday’. Popularised by the renown of the Italian San Dominico of the Cuirass (d. 1024).
— Name This Child (1959) by Eric Partridge
From dominicus, of or belonging to a lord or master. It might also translate ‘little lord.’
