History & Origin
Dominque is a compressed spelling of Dominique, from the Latin dominicus ('of the Lord'), historically given to children born on a Sunday. The fuller Dominique surged in the late twentieth century, and this spelling crested in the early nineties.
Dominque crested in 1992, so a man with the name is likely in his thirties. It reads as a variant spelling of the more standard Dominique, which remains the lasting form.
