ORIGIN & HISTORY

About the name

"Of the Lord" — Dominick is an English spelling variant of Dominic, from Late Latin Dominicus, traditionally given to children born on a Sunday ("the Lord's day").

  1. Dominicus (Late Latin). The underlying name Dominic gained prominence in England around the 13th century largely due to Saint Dominic, a Dominican friar and founder of the Dominican religious order. This history is documented for "Dominic"; no source consulted attests a historical bearer of the exact "Dominick" spelling.
  2. Mythological and religious contextVia its identity with Dominic, the name carries the Catholic religious association of Saint Dominic, founder of the Dominican order; the name has historically seen more use among Catholic families for this reason. This association is documented for "Dominic"; no source consulted attests it specifically for the "Dominick" spelling.
