The story of Dominick
The root is the Latin adjective Dominicus, formed from dominus, 'lord', and used in the early Church for what belonged to God — including a child born on the Lord's day. It spread widely after Dominic de Guzmán, the Castilian priest who founded the Order of Preachers in the early thirteenth century; the friars carried the name across Catholic Europe, and it settled deeply in Italy as Domenico and in Spain as Domingo. English took it up as Dominic, with the -ck ending becoming a common written form in English-speaking countries, notably among Italian and Irish Catholic families. In the United States it has been on the books continuously since the earliest years of national name records.
Meaning
