The Story of Dominick
Dominick (also spelled Dominic) comes from the Latin 'Dominicus,' meaning 'of the Lord' or 'belonging to God,' from 'dominus' (lord, master). It was a name given to children born on Sunday (Dominica in Latin) or to those dedicated to God. Saint Dominic de Guzmán (1170–1221), founder of the Dominican Order, made the name beloved throughout Catholic Europe.
