Dominikos is Greek in Origin.

Dominikos is the Greek form of Latin Dominicus, from dominus “lord/master,” conveying “belonging to the Lord.” In Christian tradition it could be bestowed on boys born on Sunday (dies Dominica) or as a mark of dedication. The standard Greek spelling is Δομήνικος, often rendered as Doménikos in scholarly transliteration.

The name appears in Byzantine and post‑Byzantine records, with its best‑known bearer being the Cretan-born painter Doménikos Theotokópoulos, later famed as El Greco. While uncommon in contemporary Greece, it remains intelligible and dignified, fitting both ecclesiastical and artistic associations. International variants include Dominic, Dominick, and Domenic (English), Domenico (Italian), Domingo (Spanish), Domingos (Portuguese), Dominique (French, unisex), and Dominik (German, Polish, Czech, Slovak, and other Central European languages). Feminine counterparts are Dominika, Dominica, Dominique, and the Greek Dominiki (Δομινίκη). Related surnames include Dominici and Dominguez, reflecting the name’s broad medieval spread.
