Domingo is Spanish in Origin.

Domingo is the Spanish and Galician form of the Latin name Dominicus, meaning “belonging to the Lord.” Because domingo also names Sunday - the Lord’s Day - the given name often carries the folk sense “Sunday-born” in Iberian and Latin American traditions. The root dominus (“lord, master”) underlies related forms across Europe, and ecclesiastical Latin helped preserve the name through the Middle Ages.

Usage flourished in medieval Spain via revered figures such as Santo Domingo de Silos (11th c.) and Domingo de Guzmán, known in English as Saint Dominic, founder of the Order of Preachers. It remains common throughout Spain, Hispanic America, and the Philippines, and appears as a surname; the patronymic is Domínguez. International variants include Italian Domenico, French unisex Dominique, English Dominic/Dominick, Central‑European Dominik, Catalan Domènec, and Portuguese Domingos. Spanish diminutives include Mingo and Domi; the feminine counterpart is Dominga.
