Meaning and origin of Dominick
Dominick is a Latin and English name that means “of the Lord”.
Dominick is an English spelling of Dominic, from the Latin Dominicus, meaning of the Lord or belonging to the Lord. In early Christian times it was sometimes given to children born on a Sunday, dies dominica, the Lord's day. Its most famous bearer is Saint Dominic, the Spanish priest who founded the Dominican order of preachers in the thirteenth century. The name has long been popular among Catholic families, especially those with Italian and Irish roots. Dominick feels sturdy and traditional, and Dom, Nick and Nico all work as nicknames. The shorter Dominic is the most common spelling.
Other spellings with the same sound: Dominic.
