Meaning and origin of Domenic
Domenic is an Italian and Latin name that means “of the Lord”.
Domenic is a spelling of Dominic, from the Latin Dominicus, meaning "of the Lord." The name was traditionally given to children born on Sunday, dies Dominica, the Lord's day. Saint Dominic founded the Dominican order of preachers in the thirteenth century, spreading the name through Catholic Europe.
