What is the meaning of the name Dom ?

The baby name Dom is a Male name , 1 syllables long and is pronounced /dɒm/ (UK), /dɑm/ (US) — rhymes with Tom.

Dom is Latin in Origin.

Dom is a clipped English form of names in the Dominic family, ultimately from Latin Dominicus, “of the Lord,” built on dominus, “lord, master.” In medieval naming, the Latin form could mark a child dedicated to God or born on Sunday. Though informal in tone, Dom retains the devotional nuance of its root and is broadly understood across Christian-influenced naming traditions.

Its use spread with the veneration of Saint Dominic (1170–1221) and persisted across Catholic Europe; in English-speaking countries Dom appears both as a nickname and, since the late 20th century, as a minimalist given name. Related forms include Dominic, Dominick, Dominik, Domenic, Domenico (Italian), Domingo (Spanish), Domingos (Portuguese), Dominique (French, unisex), and feminine Dominica and Dominga. Regional pet forms include Dom, Nic/Nick, Nico, Mimmo (Italian), and Mingo (Spanish). It is also a Portuguese honorific.
