Meaning and history
Dominic comes from the Late Latin name Dominicus, meaning “of the Lord,” and was traditionally given to a child born on Sunday. Several saints have borne the name, including the 13th-century founder of the Dominican order of friars, in whose honour it was first used in England from around the 13th century. It has historically been more common among Catholics.
