Domek is Czech, Polish, Slovak in Origin.
Domek is a Slavic diminutive formed with the affectionate suffix -ek and used chiefly in Polish and Czech as a cozy pet form of Dominik, the local equivalent of Latin Dominic(us) “belonging to the Lord.” By coincidence, domek is also an everyday word in both languages meaning “little house,” which lends the nickname a warm, homely resonance without changing its etymology.
In records and family usage it appears as an informal call-name for boys baptized Dominik, and has occasionally stood alone as a rare independent given name in modern Poland, the Czech Republic, and diaspora communities that favor nickname-style first names. Related forms include Dominik (Polish, Czech, Slovak), Dominic (English), Domenico (Italian), Domingo (Spanish), Dominique (French), and Domen (Slovene). Short variants and nicknames: Dom, Domi, Domo, and, in Polish/Czech, Domek; feminine counterpart Dominika.
