A given name, typically masculine, derived from the Latin word meaning 'of the Lord' or 'belonging to the Lord.'
From Latin 'Dominicus,' derived from 'dominus' meaning 'lord' or 'master.' The name became popular in Christian cultures, especially among Dominican friars founded by Saint Dominic.
The Dominican order of friars and the country of Dominica both get their names from this same Latin root for 'lord'—and the Dominica was even named after the day Columbus spotted it (Sunday, the Lord's day) in 1493!
