Origin and meaning of Domenico
Domenico comes from the Latin Dominicus, 'of the Lord, consecrated to God,' from dominus; it was once given to children born on Sunday, the 'Lord's day.' Its spread owes much to Saint Dominic de Guzmán, founder of the Dominican order. A traditional name deeply rooted in Italy, especially the south, it is common in Iberian and French areas as Domingo and Dominique. It blends religious solemnity with a classic tone, and the affectionate short form Mimmo is widely used.
