Dominic, Dominik, or Dominick is a male given name common among Roman Catholics and other Latin-Romans. It originates from the late Roman-Italic name "Dominicus", which translates to "Lordly", "Belonging to God", or "of the Master". The name is closely associated with Saint Dominic, the founder of the Order of Preachers, also known as Dominican friars. Saint Dominic was named after Saint Dominic of Silos, further emphasizing the name's religious significance.
