History & Origin

Domnique is a spelling variant of Dominique, the French name from Latin dominicus, 'of the Lord.' Used for girls and boys in French tradition, it appears here for girls. The clipped spelling is a modern American touch; the sense, tied to Sunday and the Lord's day, is unchanged. It has always been rare.

It was never common, given to only about twenty girls a year at its peak around 1987, and it stayed rare. A woman named Domnique then is in her late thirties today.

Did you know? Dominique and its spellings carry a Sunday sense, since the Latin dominicus once marked a child born on the Lord's day, and Domnique keeps that meaning in a leaner form.
