Dominic
Dominic ♂ From the Late Latin name Dominicus, a derivative of dominus ‘lord’. It was used mainly by Roman Catholics, in honour of St Dominic (1170–1221), founder of the Dominican order of monks, but has enjoyed wider appeal since the 1970s.
Variant: Dominick (an old spelling, still in occasional use). Short form: Dom. |
