Origin and meaning of Dominic
Dominic comes from the Latin Dominicus, 'of the Lord', from dominus, 'lord, master', historically given to children born on a Sunday, the Lord's day. In Romania it is less traditional but increasingly chosen in urban areas thanks to its international reach and its link to Saint Dominic, founder of the Dominican Order. Parents like that it feels modern while carrying deep Christian roots.
