What does the name Domenick mean?
Domenick is a spelling of Dominic, pronounced the same way, so it shares Dominic's meaning and origin.
Dominic comes from Latin dominicus, 'of the Lord', from dominus, 'lord'. DMNES notes that it was first given to children born on Sunday, dies dominica, 'the Lord's day', and later in honor of Saint Dominic, the 13th-century Spanish founder of the Dominican Order of preachers. It has been a mainly Catholic name in English. DMNES finds Dominick in England by the 1580s; Domenico, Domingo and Dominique are its forms in other languages.
